yourself will die on pagan soil. And Israel will surely go into exile, away from their homeland.’”

calamity that is upon us.” So they cast lots, and the lot fell on
Jonah.

mourning; its support is taken from you.

covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they

his home, a fellow man of
his inheritance.

straitened? are these
his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?

his people, and he will
plead with Israel.

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.

his brother with a net.

hunt one another with a net.

his mischievous desire: so they
wrap it up.

bribe. When the powerful utters

transgression of the

his feet.

quake at him, and the hills
melt, and the earth is burned at
his presence,
yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

quake before Him, and the hills

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.
The shields of
his mighty men are red; the
valiant warriors are dressed in scarlet. The fittings of the
chariots flash like fire on the day they are prepared, and the spears of
cypress have been
brandished.

his worthies: they shall
stumble in their walk; they shall make
haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
He
summons his nobles; they
stumble as they advance. They race to its wall; the protective shield is set in place.
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.
Then shall
his mind change, and he shall pass over, and
offend, imputing this
his power unto
his god.
Then they
sweep by like the wind and pass on through. They are guilty; their own strength is their god.”
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.
The
foe pulls all of them up with a hook; he catches them in
his dragnet, and gathers them in
his fishing net; so he rejoices
gladly.
Therefore they sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their
drag; because by them their portion is fat, and their meat
plenteous.
Therefore he sacrifices to
his dragnet and burns incense to
his fishing net, for by these things
his portion is
sumptuous and
his food is rich.
Shall they therefore empty their net, and not
spare continually to
slay the nations?
Will he, therefore, empty
his net and continue to
slay nations without mercy?

Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth
his desire as
hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
and wealth indeed betrays him. He is an
arrogant man never at rest. He enlarges
his appetite like
Sheol, and like Death, he is never satisfied. He gathers all the nations to himself and collects all the peoples as
his own.
Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a
taunting proverb against him, and say,
Woe to him that increaseth that which is not
his! how long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
Will not all of these take up a
taunt against him, speaking with
mockery and
derision: ‘
Woe to him who amasses what is not
his and makes himself rich with many loans! How long will this go on?’
Woe to him that coveteth an evil
covetousness to
his house, that he may set
his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
Woe to him who builds
his house by unjust gain, to place
his nest on high and escape the hand of
disaster!
Woe unto him that giveth
his neighbour drink, that puttest thy
bottle to him, and makest him
drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!
Woe to him who gives drink to
his neighbors, pouring it from the wineskin until they are
drunk, in order to
gaze at their nakedness!
What profiteth the
graven image that the maker thereof hath
graven it; the
molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of
his work trusteth therein, to make
dumb idols?
What use is an
idol, that a
craftsman should
carve it— or an image, a teacher of lies? For its maker trusts in
his own creation; he makes idols that cannot speak.

Paran.

his praise.

Paran.

His praise filled the earth.
And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
Before him went the
pestilence, and burning coals went forth at
his feet.
Plague went before Him, and fever followed in His steps.
He stood, and measured the earth: he
beheld, and drove
asunder the nations; and the
everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow:
his ways are
everlasting.
The mountains saw thee, and they
trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered
his voice, and lifted up
his hands on high.
The mountains saw You and
quaked; torrents of water swept by. The deep
roared with its voice and lifted its hands on high.
With
his own
spear You pierced
his head, when
his warriors stormed out to
scatter us,
gloating as though ready to secretly
devour the weak.
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.
I heard and
trembled within; my lips
quivered at the sound. Decay entered my bones; I
trembled where I stood. Yet I must wait patiently for the day of distress to come upon the people who
invade us.

devoured by the fire of
his jealousy: for he shall make even a
speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

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.
Seek the LORD, all you humble of the earth who carry out
His justice. Seek righteousness; seek
humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered on the day of the LORD’s anger.
The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will
famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from
his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
The LORD will be
terrifying to them when He starves all the gods of the earth. Then the nations of every shore will bow in worship to Him, each in its own place.
And he will stretch out
his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make
Nineveh a
desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
And He will stretch out
His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make
Nineveh a
desolation, as dry as a desert.
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.
This carefree city that dwells securely, that thinks to herself: “I am it, and there is none besides me,” what a ruin she has become, a resting place for beasts.
Everyone who passes by her
hisses and shakes
his fist.
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.
The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies
His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at
dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
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.
The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will
rejoice over you with
gladness; He will quiet you with
His love; He will
rejoice over you with singing.”
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.
You expected much, but behold, it amounted to little. And what you brought home, I
blew away. Why? declares the LORD of Hosts. Because My house still lies in ruins, while each of you is
busy with
his own house.
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.
If a man carries consecrated meat in the fold of
his garment, and it touches bread,
stew, wine, oil, or any other food, does that
item become holy?’” “No,” replied the priests.
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.

chariots and their riders; horses and their riders will fall, each by the sword of
his brother.

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.
“What are these coming to do?” I asked. And He replied, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise
his head; but the
craftsmen have come to
terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations that have lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to
scatter it.”
I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand.

spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of
his eye.

plundered you—for
whoever touches you touches the apple of
His eye—

inherit Judah
his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

his holy
habitation.

roused Himself from
His holy dwelling.”

Satan standing at
his right hand to resist him.
Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with
Satan standing at
his right hand to
accuse him.
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.
So the angel said to those standing before him, “Take off
his filthy clothes!” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have removed your iniquity, and I will
clothe you with splendid robes.”
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.
Then I said, “Let them put a clean
turban on
his head.” So a clean
turban was placed on
his head, and they clothed him, as the angel of the LORD stood by.

invite your
neighbor to sit under your own vine and fig tree.’”

candlestick all of gold, with a
bowl upon the top of it, and
his seven lamps

“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a
bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.

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.
I will send it out, declares the LORD of Hosts, and it will enter the house of the
thief and the house of him who swears falsely by My name. It will remain inside
his house and destroy it, down to its timbers and stones.”
And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:
And you are to tell him that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Here is a man whose name is the Branch, and He will branch out from His place and build the temple of the LORD.
Even he shall build the temple of the LORD; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.

splendor and will sit on
His throne and rule. And He will be a priest on
His throne, and there will be peaceful counsel between the two.’
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying,
Execute true judgment, and
shew mercy and compassions every man to
his brother:

Administer true justice. Show loving devotion and
compassion to one another.
And
oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against
his brother in your heart.
Do not
oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. And do not plot evil in your hearts against one another.’
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.
They made their hearts like flint and would not
listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by
His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Old men and old women will again sit along the streets of Jerusalem, each with a staff in hand because of great age.
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.
For before those days neither man nor beast received wages, nor was there safety from the enemy for
anyone who came or went, for I had turned every man against
his neighbor.
These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to
his neighbour;
execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
These are the things you must do: Speak truth to one another, render true and sound judgments in your gates,
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.
do not plot evil in your hearts against your
neighbor, and do not love to
swear falsely, for I
hate all these things,” declares the LORD.
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.
I will remove the blood from their mouths and the abominations from between their teeth. Then they too will become a
remnant for our God; they will become like a clan in Judah, and
Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
