C1-S2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea.
C1-S3 And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.
C1-S4 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; which conceived, and bare him a son.
C1-S5 And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
C1-S6 And it shall come to pass at that day, that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.
C1-S7 And she conceived again, and bare a daughter.
C1-S8 And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.
C1-S9 But I will have mercy upon the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.
C1-S10 Now when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived, and bare a son.
C1-S11 Then said God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.
C1-S12 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God.
C1-S13 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

C2-S2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
C2-S3 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they be the children of whoredoms.
C2-S4 For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
C2-S5 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
C2-S6 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
C2-S7 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.
C2-S8 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.
C2-S9 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
C2-S10 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
C2-S11 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
C2-S12 And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
C2-S13 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
C2-S14 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
C2-S15 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
C2-S16 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
C2-S17 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.
C2-S18 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
C2-S19 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
C2-S20 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.
C2-S21 And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God.

C3-S1 (Verse 1), C3-S2 (Verse 2-3), C3-S3 (Verse 4-5).C3-S1 Then said the LORD unto me, Go yet, love a woman beloved of her friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the children of Israel, who look to other gods, and love flagons of wine.
C3-S2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley: And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide for me many days; thou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man: so will I also be for thee.
C3-S3 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim: Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

C4-S2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
C4-S3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
C4-S4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
C4-S5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
C4-S6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
C4-S7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
C4-S8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
C4-S9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
C4-S10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
C4-S11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
C4-S12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
C4-S13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
C4-S14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
C4-S15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
C4-S16 For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
C4-S17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
C4-S18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
C4-S19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

C5-S2 And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
C5-S3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
C5-S4 They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
C5-S5 And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
C5-S6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
C5-S7 They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
C5-S8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Beth-aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
C5-S9 Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
C5-S10 The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
C5-S11 Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
C5-S12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
C5-S13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
C5-S14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
C5-S15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

C6-S3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.
C6-S4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
C6-S5 O Judah, what shall I do unto thee?
C6-S6 for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
C6-S7 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.
C6-S8 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
C6-S9 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
C6-S10 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.
C6-S11 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
C6-S12 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

C7-S2 And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.
C7-S3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
C7-S4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
C7-S5 In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine; he stretched out his hand with scorners.
C7-S6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, whiles they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
C7-S7 They are all hot as an oven, and have devoured their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
C7-S8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
C7-S9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not.
C7-S10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek him for all this.
C7-S11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.
C7-S12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
C7-S13 Woe unto them!

C7-S16 And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me.
C7-S17 Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me.
C7-S18 They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

C8-S4 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him.
C8-S5 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
C8-S6 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
C8-S7 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

C8-S9 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.
C8-S10 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.

C9-S3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

C9-S7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
C9-S8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
C9-S9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
C9-S10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

C9-S12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

C9-S15 give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

C9-S17 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

C3-S7 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid?
C3-S8 shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it ?
C3-S9 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
C3-S10 The lion hath roared, who will not fear?
C3-S11 the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
C3-S12 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.
C3-S13 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
C3-S14 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
C3-S15 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.
C3-S16 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts, That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
C3-S17 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

C4-S3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.
C4-S4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
C4-S5 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.
C4-S6 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
C4-S7 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

C4-S10 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

C5-S2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.
C5-S3 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.
C5-S4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.
C5-S5 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel.
C5-S6 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.
C5-S7 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
C5-S8 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
C5-S9 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right.
C5-S10 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time.
C5-S11 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
C5-S12 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
C5-S13 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas!
C5-S14 alas!
C5-S15 and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.
C5-S16 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD.
C5-S17 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD!
C5-S18 to what end is it for you?
C5-S19 the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
C5-S20 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him.
C5-S21 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light?
C5-S22 even very dark, and no brightness in it?
C5-S23 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
C5-S24 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.
C5-S25 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
C5-S26 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
C5-S27 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?
C5-S28 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
C5-S29 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.

C6-S2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms?
C6-S3 or their border greater than your border?
C6-S4 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David; That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
C6-S5 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
C6-S6 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.
C6-S7 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

C7-S2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise?
C7-S3 for he is small.
C7-S4 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
C7-S5 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
C7-S6 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise?
C7-S7 for he is small.
C7-S8 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
C7-S9 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
C7-S10 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou?
C7-S11 And I said, A plumbline.
C7-S12 Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
C7-S13 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.
C7-S14 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
C7-S15 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
C7-S16 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
C7-S17 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
C7-S18 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

C8-S5 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
C8-S6 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?

C8-S12 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
C8-S13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
C8-S14 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
C8-S15 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

C9-S2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them: And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

C1-S3 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
C1-S4 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
C1-S5 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

C1-S11 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
C1-S12 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
C1-S13 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
C1-S14 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
C1-S15 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
C1-S16 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
C1-S17 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
C1-S18 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
C1-S19 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

C1-S14 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
C1-S15 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this?
C1-S16 For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.
C1-S17 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us?
C1-S18 for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
C1-S19 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
C1-S20 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
C1-S21 Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee.
C1-S22 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
C1-S23 Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows.
C1-S24 Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah.
C1-S25 And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

C2-S2 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
C2-S3 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
C2-S4 The waters compassed me about, even to the soul: the depth closed me round about, the weeds were wrapped about my head.
C2-S5 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.
C2-S6 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
C2-S7 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
C2-S8 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed.

C3-S2 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD.
C3-S3 Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
C3-S4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
C3-S5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
C3-S6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
C3-S7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
C3-S8 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
C3-S9 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

C4-S2 And he prayed unto the LORD, and said, I pray thee, O LORD, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country?
C4-S3 Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
C4-S4 Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
C4-S5 Then said the LORD, Doest thou well to be angry?
C4-S6 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
C4-S7 And the LORD God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief.
C4-S8 So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
C4-S9 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
C4-S10 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
C4-S11 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd?
C4-S12 And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
C4-S13 Then said the LORD, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night: And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?

C1-S11 And all the graven images thereof shall be beaten to pieces, and all the hires thereof shall be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay desolate: for she gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire of an harlot.
C1-S12 Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
C1-S13 For her wound is incurable; for it is come unto Judah; he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
C1-S14 Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
C1-S15 Pass ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of Beth-ezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
C1-S16 For the inhabitant of Maroth waited carefully for good: but evil came down from the LORD unto the gate of Jerusalem.
C1-S17 O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she is the beginning of the sin to the daughter of Zion: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee.
C1-S18 Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.
C1-S19 Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel.

C2-S2 when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
C2-S3 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
C2-S4 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.

C2-S8 Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.

C1-S11 They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.
C1-S12 And they shall scoff at the kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every strong hold; for they shall heap dust, and take it.

C1-S16 O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
C1-S17 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?
C1-S18 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, as the creeping things, that have no ruler over them?
C1-S19 They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag: therefore they rejoice and are glad.

C3-S7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
C3-S8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
C3-S9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
C3-S10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
C3-S11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
C3-S12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
C3-S13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
C3-S14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
C3-S15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
C3-S16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
C3-S17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
C3-S18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
C3-S19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
C3-S20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.

C1-S2 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
C1-S3 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
C1-S4 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
C1-S5 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
C1-S6 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
C1-S7 Ye looked for much, and, lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it.
C1-S8 Why?
C1-S9 saith the LORD of hosts.
C1-S10 Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
C1-S11 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
C1-S12 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.
C1-S13 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him, and the people did fear before the LORD.
C1-S14 Then spake Haggai the LORD'S messenger in the LORD'S message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the LORD.
C1-S15 And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

C2-S2 and how do ye see it now?
C2-S3 is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
C2-S4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of hosts: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
C2-S5 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
C2-S6 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
C2-S7 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
C2-S8 In the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ask now the priests concerning the law, saying, If one bear holy flesh in the skirt of his garment, and with his skirt do touch bread, or pottage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be holy?
C2-S9 And the priests answered and said, No.
C2-S10 Then said Haggai, If one that is unclean by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be unclean?
C2-S11 And the priests answered and said, It shall be unclean.
C2-S12 Then answered Haggai, and said, So is this people, and so is this nation before me, saith the LORD; and so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there is unclean.
C2-S13 And now, I pray you, consider from this day and upward, from before a stone was laid upon a stone in the temple of the LORD: Since those days were, when one came to an heap of twenty measures, there were but ten: when one came to the pressfat for to draw out fifty vessels out of the press, there were but twenty.
C2-S14 I smote you with blasting and with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, saith the LORD.
C2-S15 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the LORD'S temple was laid, consider it.
C2-S16 Is the seed yet in the barn?
C2-S17 yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
C2-S18 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
C2-S19 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts.

C1-S2 Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
C1-S3 Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.
C1-S4 Your fathers, where are they?
C1-S5 and the prophets, do they live for ever?
C1-S6 But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers?
C1-S7 and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.
C1-S8 Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white.
C1-S9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these?
C1-S10 And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
C1-S11 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.
C1-S12 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.
C1-S13 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?
C1-S14 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.
C1-S15 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
C1-S16 And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.
C1-S17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the LORD of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
C1-S18 Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
C1-S19 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four horns.
C1-S20 And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these?
C1-S21 And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
C1-S22 And the LORD shewed me four carpenters.
C1-S23 Then said I, What come these to do?
C1-S24 And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

C7-S6 But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
C7-S7 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
C7-S8 Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not.

C11-S8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
C11-S9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
C11-S10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

C2-S2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart.
C2-S3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
C2-S4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
C2-S5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
C2-S6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity.
C2-S7 For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.
C2-S8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
C2-S9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law.
C2-S10 Have we not all one father?
C2-S11 hath not one God created us?
C2-S12 why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
C2-S13 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god.
C2-S14 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts.
C2-S15 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand.
C2-S16 Yet ye say, Wherefore?
C2-S17 Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
C2-S18 And did not he make one?
C2-S19 Yet had he the residue of the spirit.
C2-S20 And wherefore one?
C2-S21 That he might seek a godly seed.
C2-S22 Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.
C2-S23 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.
C2-S24 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words.
C2-S25 Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him ?
C2-S26 When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?

C3-S2 But who may abide the day of his coming?
C3-S3 and who shall stand when he appeareth?
C3-S4 for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' sope: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
C3-S5 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
C3-S6 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
C3-S7 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
C3-S8 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.
C3-S9 Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.
C3-S10 But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
C3-S11 Will a man rob God?
C3-S12 Yet ye have robbed me.
C3-S13 But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
C3-S14 In tithes and offerings.
C3-S15 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
C3-S16 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
C3-S17 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.
C3-S18 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.
C3-S19 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD.
C3-S20 Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
C3-S21 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?
C3-S22 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
C3-S23 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.
C3-S24 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
C3-S25 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

C4-S2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
C4-S3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
C4-S4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
