31-OBADIAH
31-1:1 The
vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a
rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye,
and let us rise up against her in battle.
31-1:3 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?
31-1:7 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.
31-1:8 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?
31-1:11 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.
31-1:12 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.
31-1:13 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;
31-1:14 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.
31-1:18 And
the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the
house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in
them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
31-1:20 And
the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in
Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.
32-JONAH
32-1:4 But
the LORD sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
32-1:5 Then
the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the
wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into
the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
32-1:17 Now
the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
32-2:3 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.
32-2:7 When
my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
32-3:6 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.
32-3:8 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.
32-4:2 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? 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.
32-4:5 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.
32-4:8 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.
32-4:10 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:
33-MICAH
33-1:1 The
word of the LORD that came to Micah the Morasthite in
the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah,
kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
33-1:10 Declare
ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at
all: in the house of Aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
33-1:11 Pass
ye away, thou inhabitant of Saphir, having thy shame naked: the inhabitant of
Zaanan came not forth in the mourning of
Bethezel; he shall receive of you his standing.
33-1:13 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.
33-2:1 Woe
to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning
is light, they practise it, because it is in the
power of their hand.
33-2:4 In that day shall one
take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath
changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
33-2:5 Therefore
thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in
the congregation of the LORD.
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
Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great
noise by reason of the multitude of men.
33-3:3 Who
also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they
break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as
for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
33-3:4 Then
shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his
face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
33-4:1 But
in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the
LORD shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto
it.
33-4:2 And
many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall
go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
33-4:5 For
all people will walk every one in the name of
his god, and we will walk in the name of the
LORD our God for ever and ever.
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
mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever.
33-4:9 Now
why dost thou cry out aloud? is there no
king in thee? is thy counsellor perished? for
pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail.
33-4:10 Be
in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter
of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt
thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in
the field, and thou shalt go even to
Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from
the hand of thine enemies.
33-4:13 Arise
and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will
make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in
pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their
substance unto the Lord of the whole earth.
33-5:1 Now
gather thyself in troops, O daughter of troops: he
hath laid siege against us: they shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod
upon the cheek.
33-5:2 But
thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou
be little among the thousands of Judah, yet
out of thee shall he come forth unto me that
is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth
have been from of old, from
everlasting.
33-5:4 And
he shall stand and feed in the strength of the
LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his
God; and they shall abide: for now shall he be great unto the ends of the
earth.
33-5:5 And
this man shall be the peace, when the
Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven
shepherds, and eight principal men.
33-5:6 And
they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh
into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders.
33-5:7 And
the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many
people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not
for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
33-5:8 And
the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in
the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young
lion among the flocks of sheep: who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and
teareth in pieces, and none can deliver.
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:
33-5:15 And
I will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon
the heathen, such as they have not heard.
33-6:10 Are
there yet the treasures of wickedness in the
house of the wicked, and the scant measure that
is abominable?
33-6:12 For
the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have
spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful
in their mouth.
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.
33-7:2 The
good man is perished out of the
earth: and there is none upright
among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they
hunt every man his brother with a net.
33-7:5 Trust
ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that
lieth in thy bosom.
33-7:6 For
the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the
daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
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.
33-7:11 In the
day that thy walls are to be built, in that day shall the decree be far removed.
33-7:12 In that
day also he shall come even to thee
from Assyria, and from the fortified
cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
33-7:14 Feed
thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the
wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan
and Gilead, as in the days of old.
33-7:18 Who
is a God like unto thee, that
pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his
heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
34-NAHUM
34-1:3 The
LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in
the storm, and the clouds are the
dust of his feet.
34-1:6 Who
can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in
the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks
are thrown down by him.
34-1:7 The
LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
34-1:13 For
now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
34-2:1 He
that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy
face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy
power mightily.
34-2:3 The
shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall
be terribly shaken.
34-2:4 The
chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall
justle one against another in the broad ways:
they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
34-2:5 He
shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in
their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be
prepared.
34-2:10 She
is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite
together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather
blackness.
34-2:12 The
lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps,
and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens
with ravin.
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.
34-3:10 Yet
was she carried away, she went into
captivity: her young children also were dashed in
pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable
men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
34-3:13 Behold,
thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall
be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
34-3:17 Thy
crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains
as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the
hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not
known where they are.
34-3:18 Thy
shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy
people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
35-HABAKKUK
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.
35-1:15 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.
35-2:4 Behold,
his soul which is lifted up is not
upright in him: but the just shall live by his
faith.
35-2:13 Behold,
is it not of the LORD of hosts that
the people shall labour in the very fire, and
the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
35-2:19 Woe
unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall
teach! Behold, it is laid over with
gold and silver, and there is no
breath at all in the midst of it.
35-2:20 But
the LORD is in
his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
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.
35-3:11 The
sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they
went, and at the shining of thy
glittering spear.
35-3:12 Thou
didst march through the land in indignation,
thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.
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.
35-3:17 Although
the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall
fruit be in
the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no
meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the
stalls:
35-3:18 Yet
I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
36-ZEPHANIAH
36-1:1 The
word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of
Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in
the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.
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.
36-1:10 And
it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
LORD, that there shall be the noise
of a cry from the fish gate, and an howling from the second, and a great
crashing from the hills.
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.
36-1:18 Neither
their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD’S wrath; but the whole land
shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy
riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
36-2:3 Seek
ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek
righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD’S anger.
36-2:7 And
the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah; they shall feed thereupon:
in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening: for the LORD their God shall visit
them, and turn away their captivity.
36-2:14 And
flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the
beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the
windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar
work.
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.
36-3:2 She
obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
36-3:5 The
just LORD is in
the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his
judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
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.
36-3:13 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.
36-3:15 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.
36-3:16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou
not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands
be slack.
36-3:17 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.
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
37-1:1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in
the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet
unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son
of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
37-1:4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
37-1:6 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.
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.
37-1:13 Then
spake Haggai the LORD’S messenger in the LORD’S
message unto the people, saying, I am with
you, saith the LORD.
37-1:14 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,
37-1:15 In the four and twentieth day of the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.
37-2:1 In the seventh month,
in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the
LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,
37-2:3 Who
is left among you that saw this house
in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in
your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?
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.
37-2:10 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,
37-2:12 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? And the priests answered and said, No.
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.
37-2:20 And
again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in
the four and twentieth day of the
month, saying,
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
38-1:1 In the eighth month, 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,
38-1:7 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,
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.
38-1:16 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.
38-2:1 I
lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
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.
38-2:10 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.
38-2:12 And
the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the
holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
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.
38-3:9 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.
38-3:10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call
every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
38-4:10 For
who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall
see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to
and fro through the whole earth.
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.
38-5:7 And,
behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst
of the ephah.
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.
38-5:11 And
he said unto me, To build it an house in the
land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
38-6:2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second
chariot black horses;
38-6:3 And
in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses.
38-6:8 Then
cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the
north country have quieted my spirit in the
north country.
38-6:14 And
the crowns shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen the
son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple
of the LORD.
38-6:15 And
they that are far off shall come and
build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall
know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of
the LORD your God.
38-7:1 And

Darius, that the word of the LORD
came unto Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, even in
Chisleu;
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
