1:8 I will remove
the one who holds the royal scepter from Ashkelon.
I will strike Ekron
the rest of the Philistines will also die.”
The sovereign Lord has spoken!
4:9 “I destroyed your crops
Locusts kept
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:11 “I overthrew some of you the way God
You were like a burning stick
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
7:10 Amaziah the priest of Bethel
8:5 You say,
“When will the new moon festival
When will the Sabbath end,
We’re eager
and to cheat the buyer with rigged scales!
9:5 The sovereign Lord who commands armies will do this.
He touches the earth and it dissolves;
all who live on it mourn.
The whole earth
and then grows calm
9:9 “For look, I am giving a command
and I will shake the family of Israel together with all the nations.
It will resemble a sieve being shaken,
when not even a pebble falls to the ground.
9:13 “Be sure of this,
“when the plowman will catch up to the reaper
and the one who stomps the grapes
Juice will run down the slopes,
it will flow down all the hillsides.
