3:2 the mighty men and warriors,
judges and prophets,
omen readers and leaders,
3:3 captains of groups of fifty,
the respected citizens,
advisers and those skilled in magical arts,
and those who know incantations.
19:15 Egypt will not be able to do a thing,
head or tail, shoots and stalk.
19:2 “I will provoke civil strife in Egypt,
brothers will fight with each other,
as will neighbors,
cities, and kingdoms.
17:6 There will be some left behind,
like when an olive tree is beaten –
two or three ripe olives remain toward the very top,
four or five on its fruitful branches,”
says the Lord God of Israel.
1:6 She conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord
4:5 You stumble day and night,
and the false prophets stumble with you;
You have destroyed your own people!
5:12 I will be like a moth to Ephraim,
like wood rot
5:13 When Ephraim saw
and Judah saw his wound,
then Ephraim turned
and begged
But he will not be able to heal you!
He cannot cure your wound!
5:14 I will be like a lion to Ephraim,
like a young lion to the house of Judah.
I myself will tear them to pieces,
then I will carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them!
8:8 Israel will be swallowed up among the nations;
they will be like a worthless piece of pottery.
9:11 Ephraim will be like a bird;
what they value
They will not bear children –
they will not enjoy pregnancy –
they will not even conceive!
9:12 Even if they raise their children,
I will take away every last one of them.
Woe to them!
For I will turn away from them.
9:13 Just as lion cubs are born predators,
so Ephraim will bear his sons for slaughter.
9:14 Give them, O Lord –
what will you give them?
Give them wombs that miscarry,
and breasts that cannot nurse!
9:15 Because of all their evil in Gilgal,
I hate them there.
On account of their evil deeds,
I will drive them out of my land.
I will no longer love them;
all their rulers are rebels.
9:16 Ephraim will be struck down
their root will be dried up;
they will not yield any fruit.
Even if they do bear children,
I will kill their precious offspring.
9:17 My God will reject them,
for they have not obeyed him;
so they will be fugitives among the nations.
13:3 Therefore they will disappear like
like early morning dew that evaporates,
like chaff that is blown away
like smoke that disappears through an open window.
2:14 Fast runners will find no place to hide;
strong men will have no strength left;
warriors will not be able to save their lives.
2:15 Archers
fast runners will not save their lives,
nor will those who ride horses.
2:16 Bravehearted
The Lord is speaking!
3:12 This is what the Lord says:
“Just as a shepherd salvages from the lion’s mouth a couple of leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so the Israelites who live in Samaria will be salvaged.
They will be left with just a corner of a bed,
and a part
5:2 “The virgin
She is abandoned on her own land
with no one to help her get up.”
5:3 The sovereign Lord says this:
“The city that marches out with a thousand soldiers
the town
6:11 Indeed, look! The Lord is giving the command.
He will smash the large house to bits,
and the small house into little pieces.
“Look, I am about to place tin among my people Israel.
I will no longer overlook their sin.
7:9 Isaac’s centers of worship
Israel’s holy places will be in ruins.
I will attack Jeroboam’s dynasty with the sword.”
7:17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the streets
and your sons and daughters will die violently.
Your land will be given to others
and you will die in a foreign
Israel will certainly be carried into exile
9:1 I saw the sovereign One
Knock them down on the heads of all the people,
and I will kill the survivors
No one will be able to run away;
no one will be able to escape.
9:2 Even if they could dig down into the netherworld,
my hand would pull them up from there.
Even if they could climb up to heaven,
I would drag them down from there.
9:3 Even if they were to hide on the top of Mount Carmel,
I would hunt them down and take them from there.
Even if they tried to hide from me
from there
9:4 Even when their enemies drive them into captivity,
from there
I will not let them out of my sight;
they will experience disaster, not prosperity.”
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
9:6 He builds the upper rooms of his palace
and sets its foundation supports
He summons the water of the sea
and pours it out on the earth’s surface.
The Lord is his name.
9:7 “You Israelites are just like the Ethiopians in my sight,”
“Certainly I brought Israel up from the land of Egypt,
but I also brought the Philistines from Caphtor
9:8 Look, the sovereign Lord is watching
and I will destroy it from the face of the earth.
But I will not completely destroy the family
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.
1:6 “I will turn Samaria
vineyards will be planted there!
I will tumble
and tear down her fortifications to their foundations.
1:7 All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces;
all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire.
I will make a waste heap
Since
the idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.”
1:8 For this reason I
I will walk around barefoot
I will howl
and screech
