33-MICAH
33-1:6 Therefore
I will make
33-1:7 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.
33-1:8 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.
33-1:15 Yet
will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of
Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of
33-2:3 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.
33-2:11 If
a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of
wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
33-2:12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of
33-3:1 And
I said, Hear, I
pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of
33-3:8 But
truly I am full of power by the spirit of the
LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression,
and to
33-3:9 Hear
this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of
Jacob, and princes of the house of
33-4:6 In
that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her
that halteth, and I will gather her that is
driven out, and her that I have afflicted;
33-4:7 And
I will make her that halted a remnant, and her
that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in
33-4:13 Arise
and thresh, O daughter of
33-5:10 And
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots:
33-5:11 And
I will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw
down all thy strong holds:
33-5:12 And
I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand;
and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
33-5:13 Thy
graven images also will I cut off, and thy
standing images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more worship the
work of thine hands.
33-5:14 And
I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of
thee: so will I destroy thy cities.
33-5:15 And
I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon
the heathen, such as they have not heard.
33-6:3 O
my people, what have I done unto thee? and
wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.
33-6:4 For
I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and
redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I
sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
33-6:6 Wherewith
shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God?
shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves of a year old?
33-6:7 Will
the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or
with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I
give my firstborn for my
transgression, the fruit of my body for the
sin of my soul?
33-6:11 Shall
I count them
pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?
33-6:13 Therefore
also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins.
33-6:14 Thou
shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt
not deliver; and that which thou
deliverest will I give up to the sword.
33-6:16 For
the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye
walk in their counsels; that I should make thee
a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear
the reproach of my people.
33-7:1 Woe
is me! for I am as when they have gathered the
summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit.
33-7:7 Therefore
I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will
hear me.
33-7:8 Rejoice
not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I
sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a
light unto me.
33-7:9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause,
and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I
shall behold his righteousness.
33-7:15 According
to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things.
34-NAHUM
34-1:12 Thus
saith the LORD; Though they be quiet,
and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through.
Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
34-1:13 For
now will I break his yoke from off thee, and
will burst thy bonds in sunder.
34-1:14 And
the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will
I cut off the graven image and the molten image:
I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
34-2:13 Behold,
I am against
thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn
her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice
of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
34-3:5 Behold,
I am against
thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will
discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will
shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
34-3:6 And
I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make
thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
34-3:7 And
it shall come to pass, that all they
that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who
will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters
for thee?
35-HABAKKUK
35-1:2 O
LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not
hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save!
35-1:5 Behold
ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work
a work in your days, which ye will
not believe, though it be told you.
35-1:6 For,
lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, that bitter and hasty nation, which
shall march through the breadth of the land, to possess the dwellingplaces that are not theirs.
35-2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower,
and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I
am reproved.
35-3:2 O
LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work
in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath
remember mercy.
35-3:7 I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian
did tremble.
35-3:16 When
I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quivered at
the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I
trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day
of trouble: when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his
troops.
35-3:18 Yet
I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
36-ZEPHANIAH
36-1:2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.
36-1:3 I will consume man and beast; I
will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks
with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off
the land, saith the LORD.
36-1:4 I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon
all the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and I will cut
off the remnant of Baal from this place, and
the name of the Chemarims with the priests;
36-1:8 And
it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD’S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king’s children,
and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.
36-1:9 In
the same day also will I punish all those that
leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with violence and
deceit.
36-1:12 And
it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the
men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not
do good, neither will he do evil.
36-1:17 And
I will bring distress upon men, that they shall
walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood
shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.
36-2:5 Woe
unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! the word
of the LORD is against you; O Canaan,
the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy
thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.
36-2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings
of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified
themselves against their border.
36-2:9 Therefore
as I
live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as
Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual
desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my
people shall possess them.
36-2:15 This
is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly,
that said in her heart, I am, and there is none
beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in!
every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and
wag his hand.
36-3:6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate;
I made their streets waste, that none passeth
by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none
inhabitant.
36-3:7 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.
36-3:8 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.
36-3:9 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.
36-3:11 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.
36-3:12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted
and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
36-3:18 I will gather them
that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the
reproach of it was a burden.
36-3:19 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.
36-3:20 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.
37-HAGGAI
37-1:8 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.
37-1:9 Ye
looked for much, and, lo, it came to
little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts.
Because of mine house that is waste,
and ye run every man unto his own house.
37-1:11 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.
37-1:13 Then
spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S message unto the people,
saying, I am
with you, saith the LORD.
37-2:4 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:
37-2:5 According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my
spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.
37-2:6 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;
37-2:7 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.
37-2:9 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.
37-2:15 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:
37-2:17 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.
37-2:19 Is
the seed yet in the barn? 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.
37-2:21 Speak
to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will
shake the heavens and the earth;
37-2:22 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.
37-2:23 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.
38-ZECHARIAH
38-1:3 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.
38-1:6 But
my words and my statutes, which I commanded my
servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? 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.
38-1:8 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.
38-1:9 Then
said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be.
38-1:14 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.
38-1:15 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.
38-1:16 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.
38-1:18 Then
lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and behold four
horns.
38-1:19 And
I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
38-1:21 Then
said I, What come these to do? 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.
38-2:1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a
man with a measuring line in his hand.
38-2:2 Then
said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me,
To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the
breadth thereof, and what is the
length thereof.
38-2:5 For
I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of
fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.
38-2:6 Ho,
ho, come forth, and flee from the
land of the north, saith the LORD: for I have
spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the LORD.
38-2:9 For,
behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and
they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of
hosts hath sent me.
38-2:10 Sing
and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I
come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee,
saith the LORD.
38-2:11 And
many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people:
and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou
shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
38-3:4 And
he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the
filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
38-3:5 And
I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head.
So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the
angel of the LORD stood by.
38-3:7 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my
charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and
I will give thee places to walk among these that
stand by.
38-3:8 Hear
now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for
they are men wondered at: for,
behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
38-3:9 For
behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua;
upon one stone shall be seven eyes:
behold, I will engrave the graving thereof,
saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the
iniquity of that land in one day.
38-4:2 And
said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it,
and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
38-4:4 So
I answered and spake to the angel that talked
with me, saying, What are these, my
lord?
38-4:5 Then
the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what
these be? And I said, No, my lord.
38-4:11 Then
answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right
side of the candlestick and upon the
left side thereof?
38-4:12 And
I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which
through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
38-4:13 And
he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
38-5:1 Then
I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and behold a flying roll.
38-5:2 And
he said unto me, What seest thou? And I
answered, I see a flying roll; the length
thereof is twenty cubits, and the
breadth thereof ten cubits.
38-5:4 I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it
shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that
sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and
shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
38-5:6 And
I said, What is
it? And he said, This is an ephah
that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is
their resemblance through all the earth.
38-5:9 Then
lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold,
there came out two women, and the wind was
in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they
lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven.
38-5:10 Then
said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither
do these bear the ephah?
38-6:1 And
I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked,
and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the
mountains were mountains of brass.
38-6:4 Then
I answered and said unto the angel that talked
with me, What are these, my lord?
38-7:3 And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts,
and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in
the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done
these so many years?
38-7:13 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:
38-7:14 But
I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the
nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man
passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
38-8:2 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion
with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her
with great fury.
38-8:3 Thus
saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and
will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of
truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
38-8:7 Thus
saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my
people from the east country, and from the west country;
38-8:8 And
I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the
midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I
will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
38-8:10 For
before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither was there any peace to him that went out
or came in because of the affliction: for I set
all men every one against his neighbour.
38-8:11 But
now I will
not be unto the residue of this
people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
38-8:12 For
the seed shall be prosperous; the
vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the
heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause
the remnant of this people to possess all these things.
38-8:13 And
it shall come to pass, that as ye
were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, but let your hands be strong.
38-8:14 For
thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to
punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts,
and I repented not:
38-8:15 So
again have I thought in these days to do well
unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
38-8:17 And
let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no
false oath: for all these are things that
I hate, saith the LORD.
38-8:21 And
the inhabitants of one city shall go
to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the
LORD of hosts: I will go also.
38-9:6 And
a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut
off the pride of the Philistines.
38-9:7 And
I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and
his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as
a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
38-9:8 And
I will encamp about mine house because of the
army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no
oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
38-9:10 And
I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the
horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak
peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall
be from sea even to sea, and from
the river even to the ends of the
earth.
38-9:11 As
for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I
have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
38-9:12 Turn
you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do I declare that I will render double unto thee;
38-9:13 When
I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with
Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made
thee as the sword of a mighty man.
38-10:3 Mine
anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I
punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of
Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
38-10:6 And
I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I
am the LORD their God, and will hear
them.
38-10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they
have increased.
38-10:9 And
I will sow them among the people: and they shall
remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn
again.
38-10:10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt,
and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring
them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
38-10:12 And
I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD.
38-11:5 Whose
possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them
say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
38-11:6 For
I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,
saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men
every one into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they
shall smite the land, and out of their hand I
will not deliver them.
38-11:7 And
I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
38-11:8 Three
shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my
soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
38-11:9 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.
38-11:10 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.
38-11:12 And
I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So
they weighed for my price thirty pieces of
silver.
38-11:13 And
the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I
took the thirty pieces of silver, and
cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
38-11:14 Then
I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
38-11:16 For,
lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut
off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed
that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their
claws in pieces.
38-12:2 Behold,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto
all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
38-12:3 And
in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome
stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in
