Hosea:1:2 @The start of the word of the Lord by Hosea: And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take for yourself a wife of loose ways, and children of the same, for the land has been untrue to the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:1:9 @And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
bbe@Hosea:2:1 @Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
bbe@Hosea:2:2 @Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
bbe@Hosea:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.
bbe@Hosea:4:4 @Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
bbe@Hosea:4:5 @You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
bbe@Hosea:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
bbe@Hosea:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.
bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
bbe@Hosea:5:13 @When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
bbe@Hosea:6:4 @O Ephraim, what am I to do to you? O Judah, what am I to do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew which goes early away.
bbe@Hosea:7:5 @On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.
bbe@Hosea:7:13 @May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.
bbe@Hosea:8:1 @Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
bbe@Hosea:8:5 @I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
bbe@Hosea:9:1 @Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
bbe@Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
bbe@Hosea:10:12 @Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.
bbe@Hosea:10:13 @You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.
bbe@Hosea:10:14 @So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.
bbe@Hosea:10:15 @So will Beth-el do to you because of your evil-doing; at dawn will the king of Israel be cut off completely.
bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.
bbe@Hosea:12:9 @But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.
bbe@Hosea:13:4 @But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
bbe@Hosea:13:9 @I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?
bbe@Hosea:13:10 @Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.
bbe@Hosea:13:14 @I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.
bbe@Hosea:14:1 @O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.
bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.
bbe@Hosea:14:3 @Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.
bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.
bbe@Joel:1:2 @Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
bbe@Joel:1:3 @Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.
bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.
bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.
bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.
bbe@Joel:1:16 @Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?
bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
bbe@Joel:2:18 @Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.
bbe@Joel:2:23 @Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.
bbe@Joel:2:26 @You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:
bbe@Joel:2:27 @And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.
bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:
bbe@Joel:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,
bbe@Joel:3:5 @For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things.
bbe@Joel:3:7 @See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;
bbe@Joel:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Joel:3:10 @Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong
bbe@Joel:3:11 @Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.
bbe@Joel:3:17 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.
bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
bbe@Amos:2:10 @And I took you up out of the land of Egypt, guiding you for forty years in the waste land, so that you might take for your heritage the land of the Amorite.
bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:3:2 @You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.
bbe@Amos:3:11 @For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.
bbe@Amos:3:12 @These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.
bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:
bbe@Amos:4:5 @Let that which is leavened be burned as a praise-offering, let the news of your free offerings be given out publicly; for this is pleasing to you, O children of Israel, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:6 @But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:9 @I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord
bbe@Amos:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.
bbe@Amos:5:4 @For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:
bbe@Amos:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
bbe@Amos:5:11 @So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
bbe@Amos:5:12 @For I have seen how your evil-doing is increased and how strong are your sins, you troublers of the upright, who take rewards and do wrong to the cause of the poor in the public place
bbe@Amos:5:14 @Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
bbe@Amos:5:23 @Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
bbe@Amos:5:26 @Truly, you will take up Saccuth your king and Kaiwan your images, the star of your god, which you made for yourselves.
bbe@Amos:6:2 @Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?
bbe@Amos:6:13 @You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
bbe@Amos:7:12 @And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go in flight into the land of Judah, and there get your living by working as a prophet:
bbe@Amos:7:17 @So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.
bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;
bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.
bbe@Amos:8:14 @Those who make their oaths by the sin of Samaria and say, By the life of your God, O Dan; and, By the living way of Beer-sheba; even they will go down, never again to be lifted up.
bbe@Amos:9:15 @And I will have them planted in their land, and never again will they be uprooted from their land which I have given them, says the Lord your God.
bbe@Obadiah:1:3 @You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?
bbe@Obadiah:1:4 @Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.
bbe@Obadiah:1:5 @If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.
bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.
bbe@Obadiah:1:10 @Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.
bbe@Obadiah:1:12 @Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
bbe@Obadiah:1:13 @Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
bbe@Obadiah:1:14 @And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.
bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.
bbe@Jonah:1:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.
bbe@Jonah:1:3 @And Jonah got up to go in flight to Tarshish, away from the Lord; and he went down to Joppa, and saw there a ship going to Tarshish: so he gave them the price of the journey and went down into it to go with them to Tarshish, away from the Lord.
bbe@Jonah:1:6 @And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.
bbe@Jonah:1:8 @Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?
bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
bbe@Jonah:2:3 @For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.
bbe@Jonah:2:4 @And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple?
bbe@Jonah:2:7 @When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.
bbe@Jonah:3:3 @So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.
bbe@Jonah:3:4 @And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.
bbe@Jonah:4:2 @And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
bbe@Micah:1:15 @Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
bbe@Micah:1:16 @Let your head be uncovered and your hair cut off in sorrow for the children of your delight: let the hair be pulled from your head like an eagle's; for they have been taken away from you as prisoners.
bbe@Micah:2:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
bbe@Micah:2:10 @Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
bbe@Micah:4:5 @For all the peoples will be walking, every one in the name of his god, and we will be walking in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.
bbe@Micah:4:9 @Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:
bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters
bbe@Micah:4:11 @And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.
bbe@Micah:4:13 @Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
bbe@Micah:5:1 @Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
bbe@Micah:5:5 @And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.
bbe@Micah:5:6 @And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.
bbe@Micah:5:8 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
bbe@Micah:5:9 @Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.
bbe@Micah:5:10 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:
bbe@Micah:5:11 @I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:
bbe@Micah:5:12 @I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
bbe@Micah:5:13 @And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
bbe@Micah:5:14 @I will have your Asherahs pulled up from among you: and I will send destruction on your images.
bbe@Micah:6:1 @Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.
bbe@Micah:6:8 @He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.
bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.
bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword
bbe@Micah:6:15 @You will put in seed, but you will not get in the grain; you will be crushing olives, but your bodies will not be rubbed with the oil; and you will get in the grapes, but you will have no wine.
bbe@Micah:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.
bbe@Micah:7:5 @Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
bbe@Micah:7:10 @And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.
bbe@Micah:7:11 @A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.
bbe@Micah:7:14 @Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.
bbe@Micah:7:17 @They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.
bbe@Micah:7:19 @He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.
bbe@Micah:7:20 @You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.
bbe@Nahum:1:2 @The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
bbe@Nahum:1:13 @And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
bbe@Nahum:1:15 @See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
bbe@Nahum:2:1 @A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.
bbe@Nahum:2:8 @But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.
bbe@Nahum:2:9 @Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired.
bbe@Nahum:2:10 @Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
bbe@Nahum:2:13 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever.
bbe@Nahum:3:5 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your skirts pulled over your face, and let the nations see you unclothed, and the kingdoms your shame.
bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains
bbe@Nahum:3:12 @All your walled places will be like fig-trees and your people like the first figs, falling at a shake into the mouth which is open for them.
bbe@Nahum:3:13 @See, the people who are in you are women; the doorways of your land are wide open to your attackers: the locks of your doors have been burned away in the fire.
bbe@Nahum:3:14 @Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks.
bbe@Nahum:3:15 @There the fire will make you waste; you will be cut off by the sword: make yourself as great in number as the worms, as great in number as the locusts.
bbe@Nahum:3:16 @Let your traders be increased more than the stars of heaven:
bbe@Nahum:3:17 @Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.
bbe@Nahum:3:18 @Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together.
bbe@Nahum:3:19 @Your pain may not be made better; you are wounded to death: all those hearing the news about you will be waving their hands in joy over you: for who has not undergone the weight of your evil-doing again and again?
bbe@Habakkuk:1:2 @How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:5 @See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:12 @Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:13 @Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?
bbe@Habakkuk:2:7 @Will not your creditors suddenly be moved against you, and your troublers get up from their sleep, and you will be to them like goods taken in war?
bbe@Habakkuk:2:8 @Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.
bbe@Habakkuk:2:10 @You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul.
bbe@Habakkuk:2:15 @A curse on him who gives his neighbour the wine of his wrath, making him overcome with strong drink from the cup of his passion, so that you may be a witness of their shame!
bbe@Habakkuk:2:16 @You are full of shame in place of glory: take your part in the drinking, and let your shame be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand will come round to you and your glory will be covered with shame.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:2 @O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:8 @Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?
bbe@Habakkuk:3:9 @Your bow was quite uncovered. Selah. By you the earth was cut through with rivers.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:11 @At the light of your arrows they went away, at the shining of your polished spear.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:12 @You went stepping through the land in wrath, crushing the nations in your passion.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:13 @You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. Selah.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:14 @You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.
bbe@Habakkuk:3:15 @The feet of your horses were on the sea, on the mass of great waters.
bbe@Zephaniah:1:9 @And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:14 @Make melody, O daughter of Zion; give a loud cry, O Israel; be glad and let your heart be full of joy, O daughter of Jerusalem.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:15 @The Lord has taken away those who were judging you, he has sent your haters far away: the King of Israel, even the Lord, is among you: you will have no more fear of evil.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:16 @In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:17 @The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:18 @I will take away your troubles, lifting up your shame from off you.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:19 @See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.
bbe@Zephaniah:3:20 @At that time I will make you come in, at that time I will get you together: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I let your fate be changed before your eyes, says the Lord.
bbe@Haggai:1:5 @For this cause the Lord of armies has said, Give thought to your ways.
bbe@Haggai:1:7 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Give thought to your ways.
bbe@Haggai:1:8 @Go up to the hills and get wood and put up the house; and I will take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the Lord.
bbe@Haggai:1:9 @You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.
bbe@Haggai:1:15 @On the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
bbe@Haggai:2:3 @Who is there still among you who saw this house in its first glory? and how do you see it now? is it not in your eyes as nothing?
bbe@Haggai:2:10 @On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,
bbe@Haggai:2:17 @And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Haggai:2:18 @And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to it.
bbe@Haggai:2:20 @And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,
bbe@Zechariah:1:2 @The Lord has been very angry with your fathers:
bbe@Zechariah:1:4 @Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.
bbe@Zechariah:1:5 @Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they go on living for ever?
bbe@Zechariah:1:6 @But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.
bbe@Zechariah:1:7 @On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,
bbe@Zechariah:1:8 @I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.
bbe@Zechariah:1:12 @Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?
bbe@Zechariah:1:14 @And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.
bbe@Zechariah:1:17 @And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.
bbe@Zechariah:1:18 @And lifting up my eyes I saw four horns.
bbe@Zechariah:1:20 @And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.
bbe@Zechariah:2:6 @Ho, ho! go in flight from the land of the north, says the Lord: for I have sent you far and wide to the four winds of heaven, says the Lord.
bbe@Zechariah:2:8 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In the way of glory he has sent me to the nations which have taken your goods: for anyone touching you is touching what is most dear to him.
bbe@Zechariah:3:5 @And let them put a clean head-dress on his head. So they put a clean head-dress on his head, clothing him with clean robes: and to him he said, See, I have taken your sin away from you.
bbe@Zechariah:3:7 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.
bbe@Zechariah:3:8 @Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.
bbe@Zechariah:5:5 @And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.
bbe@Zechariah:6:1 @And again lifting up my eyes I saw four war-carriages coming out from between the two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
bbe@Zechariah:6:3 @And in the third, white horses; and in the fourth, horses of mixed colour.
bbe@Zechariah:6:5 @And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.
bbe@Zechariah:6:6 @The carriage in which are the black horses goes in the direction of the north country; the white go to the west; and those of mixed colour go in the direction of the south country.
bbe@Zechariah:7:1 @And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev.
bbe@Zechariah:7:5 @Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?
bbe@Zechariah:7:6 @And when you are feasting and drinking, are you not doing it only for yourselves?
bbe@Zechariah:7:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:
bbe@Zechariah:7:10 @Do not be hard on the widow, or the child without a father, on the man from a strange country, or on the poor; let there be no evil thought in your heart against your brother.
bbe@Zechariah:8:7 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, I will be the saviour of my people from the east country, and from the west country;
bbe@Zechariah:8:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your hands be strong, you who are now hearing these words from the mouths of the prophets, that is to say, in the days when the base of the house of the Lord of armies has been put in place for the building of the house, that is the Temple.
bbe@Zechariah:8:10 @For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.
bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.
bbe@Zechariah:8:14 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:
bbe@Zechariah:8:16 @These are the things which you are to do: Let every man say what is true to his neighbour; and let your judging give peace in your towns.
bbe@Zechariah:8:17 @Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.
bbe@Zechariah:8:19 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.
bbe@Zechariah:8:23 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.
bbe@Zechariah:9:7 @And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.
bbe@Zechariah:9:9 @Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.
bbe@Zechariah:9:11 @And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.
bbe@Zechariah:9:13 @For I have made Judah a bow bent for my use, I have made Ephraim the arrows of the bow; I will make your sons, O Zion, take up arms against your sons, O Greece, and will make you like the sword of a man of war.
bbe@Zechariah:9:16 @And the Lord their God will be their saviour in that day, giving them food like the flock of his people: for they will be like the jewels of a crown shining over his land.
bbe@Zechariah:10:1 @Make your request to the Lord for rain in the time of the spring rains, even to the Lord who makes the thunder-flames; and he will give them showers of rain, to every man grass in the field.
bbe@Zechariah:10:6 @And I will make the children of Judah strong, and I will be the saviour of the children of Joseph, and I will make them come back again, for I have had mercy on them: they will be as if I had not given them up: for I am the Lord their God and I will give them an answer.
bbe@Zechariah:11:1 @Let your doors be open, O Lebanon, so that fire may be burning among your cedars.
bbe@Zechariah:11:6 @For I will have no more pity for the people of the land, says the Lord; but I will give up everyone into his neighbour's hand and into the hand of his king: and they will make the land waste, and I will not keep them safe from their hands.
bbe@Zechariah:13:6 @And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
bbe@Zechariah:14:1 @See, a day of the Lord is coming when they will make division of your goods taken by force before your eyes.
bbe@Zechariah:14:13 @And it will be on that day that a great fear will be sent among them from the Lord; and everyone will take his neighbour's hand, and every man's hand will be lifted against his neighbour's.
bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,
bbe@Malachi:1:5 @And your eyes will see it; and you will say, The Lord is great even outside the limits of Israel.
bbe@Malachi:1:6 @A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your name?
bbe@Malachi:1:7 @You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.
bbe@Malachi:1:8 @And when you give what is blind for an offering, it is no evil! and when you give what is damaged and ill, it is no evil! Give it now to your ruler; will he be pleased with you, or will you have his approval? says the Lord of armies.
bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.
