Hosea:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
nkjv@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
nkjv@Hosea:1:4 @ Then the LORD said to him: "Call his name Jezreel, For in a little while I will avenge the bloodshed of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, And bring an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
nkjv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again and bore a daughter. Then God said to him: "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah, For I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, But I will utterly take them away.
nkjv@Hosea:1:7 @ Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah, Will save them by the LORD their God, And will not save them by bow, Nor by sword or battle, By horses or horsemen."
nkjv@Hosea:1:8 @ Now when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.
nkjv@Hosea:1:10 @ "Yet the number of the children of Israel Shall be as the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered. And it shall come to pass In the place where it was said to them, "You are not My people,' There it shall be said to them, "You are sons of the living God.'
nkjv@Hosea:1:11 @ Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel Shall be gathered together, And appoint for themselves one head; And they shall come up out of the land, For great will be the day of Jezreel!
nkjv@Hosea:2:4 @ "I will not have mercy on her children, For they are the children of harlotry.
nkjv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has behaved shamefully. For she said, "I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my linen, My oil and my drink.'
nkjv@Hosea:2:9 @ "Therefore I will return and take away My grain in its time And My new wine in its season, And will take back My wool and My linen, Given to cover her nakedness.
nkjv@Hosea:2:10 @ Now I will uncover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, And no one shall deliver her from My hand.
nkjv@Hosea:2:11 @ I will also cause all her mirth to cease, Her feast days, Her New Moons, Her Sabbaths-- All her appointed feasts.
nkjv@Hosea:2:16 @ "And it shall be, in that day," Says the LORD, "That you will call Me "My Husband,' And no longer call Me "My Master,'
nkjv@Hosea:2:23 @ Then I will sow her for Myself in the earth, And I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy; Then I will say to those who were not My people, "You are My people!' And they shall say, "You are my God!"'
nkjv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and one and one-half homers of barley.
nkjv@Hosea:4:2 @ By swearing and lying, Killing and stealing and committing adultery, They break all restraint, With bloodshed upon bloodshed.
nkjv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land will mourn; And everyone who dwells there will waste away With the beasts of the field And the birds of the air; Even the fish of the sea will be taken away.
nkjv@Hosea:4:4 @ "Now let no man contend, or rebuke another; For your people are like those who contend with the priest.
nkjv@Hosea:4:8 @ They eat up the sin of My people; They set their heart on their iniquity.
nkjv@Hosea:4:13 @ They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops, And burn incense on the hills, Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, Because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit harlotry, And your brides commit adultery.
nkjv@Hosea:4:17 @ "Ephraim is joined to idols, Let him alone.
nkjv@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drink is rebellion, They commit harlotry continually. Her rulers dearly love dishonor.
nkjv@Hosea:5:1 @ "Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O house of the king! For yours is the judgment, Because you have been a snare to Mizpah And a net spread on Tabor.
nkjv@Hosea:5:7 @ They have dealt treacherously with the LORD, For they have begotten pagan children. Now a New Moon shall devour them and their heritage.
nkjv@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I make known what is sure.
nkjv@Hosea:5:10 @ "The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark; I will pour out My wrath on them like water.
nkjv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, And like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them and go away; I will take them away, and no one shall rescue.
nkjv@Hosea:5:15 @ I will return again to My place Till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me."
nkjv@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight.
nkjv@Hosea:6:9 @ As bands of robbers lie in wait for a man, So the company of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they commit lewdness.
nkjv@Hosea:7:2 @ They do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness; Now their own deeds have surrounded them; They are before My face.
nkjv@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot, like an oven, And have devoured their judges; All their kings have fallen. None among them calls upon Me.
nkjv@Hosea:7:8 @ "Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake unturned.
nkjv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens have devoured his strength, But he does not know it; Yes, gray hairs are here and there on him, Yet he does not know it.
nkjv@Hosea:7:12 @ Wherever they go, I will spread My net on them; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will chastise them According to what their congregation has heard.
nkjv@Hosea:7:13 @ "Woe to them, for they have fled from Me! Destruction to them, Because they have transgressed against Me! Though I redeemed them, Yet they have spoken lies against Me.
nkjv@Hosea:7:14 @ They did not cry out to Me with their heart When they wailed upon their beds. "They assemble together for grain and new wine, They rebel against Me;
nkjv@Hosea:7:16 @ They return, but not to the Most High; They are like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword For the cursings of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
nkjv@Hosea:8:5 @ Your calf is rejected, O Samaria! My anger is aroused against them-- How long until they attain to innocence?
nkjv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles Like a vessel in which is no pleasure.
nkjv@Hosea:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, Like a wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers.
nkjv@Hosea:8:10 @ Yes, though they have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; And they shall sorrow a little, Because of the burden of the king of princes.
nkjv@Hosea:8:12 @ I have written for him the great things of My law, But they were considered a strange thing.
nkjv@Hosea:8:14 @ "For Israel has forgotten his Maker, And has built temples; Judah also has multiplied fortified cities; But I will send fire upon his cities, And it shall devour his palaces."
nkjv@Hosea:9:1 @ Do not rejoice, O Israel, with joy like other peoples, For you have played the harlot against your God. You have made love for hire on every threshing floor.
nkjv@Hosea:9:6 @ For indeed they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver; Thorns shall be in their tents.
nkjv@Hosea:9:10 @ "I found Israel Like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers As the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal Peor, And separated themselves to that shame; They became an abomination like the thing they loved.
nkjv@Hosea:9:11 @ As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird-- No birth, no pregnancy, and no conception!
nkjv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them away, Because they did not obey Him; And they shall be wanderers among the nations.
nkjv@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off Like a twig on the water.
nkjv@Hosea:10:8 @ Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, Shall be destroyed. The thorn and thistle shall grow on their altars; They shall say to the mountains, "Cover us!" And to the hills, "Fall on us!"
nkjv@Hosea:10:10 @ When it is My desire, I will chasten them. Peoples shall be gathered against them When I bind them for their two transgressions.
nkjv@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.
nkjv@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore tumult shall arise among your people, And all your fortresses shall be plundered As Shalman plundered Beth Arbel in the day of battle-- A mother dashed in pieces upon her children.
nkjv@Hosea:10:15 @ Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel, Because of your great wickedness. At dawn the king of Israel Shall be cut off utterly.
nkjv@Hosea:11:1 @ "When Israel was a child, I loved him, And out of Egypt I called My son.
nkjv@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall slash in his cities, Devour his districts, And consume them, Because of their own counsels.
nkjv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they call to the Most High, None at all exalt Him.
nkjv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of My anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, The Holy One in your midst; And I will not come with terror.
nkjv@Hosea:11:10 @ "They shall walk after the LORD. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling from the west;
nkjv@Hosea:11:12 @ "Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the Holy One who is faithful.
nkjv@Hosea:12:1 @ "Ephraim feeds on the wind, And pursues the east wind; He daily increases lies and desolation. Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians, And oil is carried to Egypt.
nkjv@Hosea:12:6 @ So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.
nkjv@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, And have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets."
nkjv@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly; Therefore his Lord will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him, And return his reproach upon him.
nkjv@Hosea:13:7 @ "So I will be to them like a lion; Like a leopard by the road I will lurk;
nkjv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them like a bear deprived of her cubs; I will tear open their rib cage, And there I will devour them like a lion. The wild beast shall tear them.

nkjv@Hosea:13:14 @ "I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, I will be your plagues! O Grave, I will be your destruction! Pity is hidden from My eyes."
nkjv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come; The wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness. Then his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasury of every desirable prize.
nkjv@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria shall not save us, We will not ride on horses, Nor will we say anymore to the work of our hands, "You are our gods.' For in You the fatherless finds mercy."
nkjv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.
nkjv@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon.
nkjv@Hosea:14:7 @ Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.

nkjv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.
nkjv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine has dried up, And the fig tree has withered; The pomegranate tree, The palm tree also, And the apple tree-- All the trees of the field are withered; Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men.

nkjv@Joel:2:2 @ A day of darkness and gloominess, A day of clouds and thick darkness, Like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. A people come, great and strong, The like of whom has never been; Nor will there ever be any such after them, Even for many successive generations.
nkjv@Joel:2:5 @ With a noise like chariots Over mountaintops they leap, Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble, Like a strong people set in battle array.
nkjv@Joel:2:7 @ They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks.
nkjv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not push one another; Every one marches in his own column. Though they lunge between the weapons, They are not cut down.
nkjv@Joel:2:9 @ They run to and fro in the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter at the windows like a thief.

nkjv@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room.
nkjv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, who minister to the LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; Let them say, "Spare Your people, O LORD, And do not give Your heritage to reproach, That the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, "Where is their God?"'
nkjv@Joel:2:19 @ The LORD will answer and say to His people, "Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, And you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations.
nkjv@Joel:2:20 @ "But I will remove far from you the northern army, And will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, With his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; His stench will come up, And his foul odor will rise, Because he has done monstrous things."
nkjv@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land; Be glad and rejoice, For the LORD has done marvelous things!
nkjv@Joel:2:23 @ Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you-- The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month.

nkjv@Amos:7:3 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:7:4 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory.
nkjv@Amos:7:6 @ So the LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
nkjv@Amos:7:7 @ Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
nkjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
nkjv@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: "I was no prophet, Nor was I a son of a prophet, But I was a sheepbreeder And a tender of sycamore fruit.
nkjv@Amos:7:17 @ "Therefore thus says the LORD: "Your wife shall be a harlot in the city; Your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Your land shall be divided by survey line; You shall die in a defiled land; And Israel shall surely be led away captive From his own land."'
nkjv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me: "The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
nkjv@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple Shall be wailing in that day," Says the Lord GOD-- "Many dead bodies everywhere, They shall be thrown out in silence."
nkjv@Amos:8:5 @ Saying: "When will the New Moon be past, That we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, That we may trade wheat? Making the ephah small and the shekel large, Falsifying the scales by deceit,
nkjv@Amos:8:8 @ Shall the land not tremble for this, And everyone mourn who dwells in it? All of it shall swell like the River, Heave and subside Like the River of Egypt.
nkjv@Amos:8:9 @ "And it shall come to pass in that day," says the Lord GOD, "That I will make the sun go down at noon, And I will darken the earth in broad daylight;
nkjv@Amos:8:10 @ I will turn your feasts into mourning, And all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist, And baldness on every head; I will make it like mourning for an only son, And its end like a bitter day.
nkjv@Amos:8:11 @ "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "That I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of hearing the words of the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:8:13 @ "In that day the fair virgins And strong young men Shall faint from thirst.
nkjv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said: "Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, And break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
nkjv@Amos:9:3 @ And though they hide themselves on top of Carmel, From there I will search and take them; Though they hide from My sight at the bottom of the sea, From there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them;
nkjv@Amos:9:4 @ Though they go into captivity before their enemies, From there I will command the sword, And it shall slay them. I will set My eyes on them for harm and not for good."
nkjv@Amos:9:6 @ He who builds His layers in the sky, And has founded His strata in the earth; Who calls for the waters of the sea, And pours them out on the face of the earth-- The LORD is His name.
nkjv@Amos:9:8 @ "Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth; Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," Says the LORD.
nkjv@Amos:9:9 @ "For surely I will command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.
nkjv@Amos:9:10 @ All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, "The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.'

nkjv@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the LORD, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, saying, "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"):
nkjv@Obadiah:1:2 @ "Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:3 @ The pride of your heart has deceived you, You who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; You who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?'
nkjv@Obadiah:1:4 @ Though you ascend as high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," says the LORD.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:7 @ All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you and prevail against you. Those who eat your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:9 @ Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:11 @ In the day that you stood on the other side-- In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem-- Even you were as one of them.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:12 @ "But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother In the day of his captivity; Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; Nor should you have spoken proudly In the day of distress.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:13 @ You should not have entered the gate of My people In the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction In the day of their calamity, Nor laid hands on their substance In the day of their calamity.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:14 @ You should not have stood at the crossroads To cut off those among them who escaped; Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained In the day of distress.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:15 @ "For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.

nkjv@Jonah:1:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
nkjv@Jonah:1:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me."
nkjv@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah arose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid the fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.
nkjv@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
nkjv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
nkjv@Jonah:1:6 @ So the captain came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish."
nkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
nkjv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, "Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?"
nkjv@Jonah:1:9 @ So he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."
nkjv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "Why have you done this?" For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
nkjv@Jonah:1:11 @ Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?"--for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
nkjv@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea; then the sea will become calm for you. For I know that this great tempest is because of me."
nkjv@Jonah:1:13 @ Nevertheless the men rowed hard to return to land, but they could not, for the sea continued to grow more tempestuous against them.
nkjv@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, "We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You."
nkjv@Jonah:1:15 @ So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
nkjv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to the LORD and took vows.
nkjv@Jonah:1:17 @ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
nkjv@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.
nkjv@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice.
nkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
nkjv@Jonah:2:4 @ Then I said, "I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
nkjv@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to my soul; The deep closed around me; Weeds were wrapped around my head.
nkjv@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God.
nkjv@Jonah:2:7 @ "When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD; And my prayer went up to You, Into Your holy temple.
nkjv@Jonah:2:8 @ "Those who regard worthless idols Forsake their own Mercy.
nkjv@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice to You With the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay what I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD."
nkjv@Jonah:2:10 @ So the LORD spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.
nkjv@Jonah:3:1 @ Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,
nkjv@Jonah:3:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I tell you."
nkjv@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.
nkjv@Jonah:3:4 @ And Jonah began to enter the city on the first day's walk. Then he cried out and said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!"
nkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
nkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.
nkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
nkjv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
nkjv@Jonah:3:9 @ Who can tell if God will turn and relent, and turn away from His fierce anger, so that we may not perish?
nkjv@Jonah:3:10 @ Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.
nkjv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.
nkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
nkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"
nkjv@Jonah:4:4 @ Then the LORD said, "Is it right for you to be angry?"
