28:013:014 I will ransom them from the power of the
grave; I will redeem
them
from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O
grave, I
will
be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from
mine
eyes.
28:013:015 Though he be fruitful among his brethren,
an east wind shall
come,
the wind of the lord shall come up from the wilderness,
and
his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall
be
dried
up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant
vessels.
28:013:016 Samaria shall become desolate; for she
hath rebelled against
her
God: they shall fall by the sword: their
infants shall be
dashed
in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped
up.
28:014:001 O israel, return unto the lord thy
God; for thou hast fallen
by
thine iniquity.
28:014:002 Take with you words, and turn to the lord:
say unto him, Take
away
all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will
we
render
the calves of our lips.
28:014:003 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride
upon horses:
neither
will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are
our
gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
28:014:004 I will heal their backsliding, I will love
them freely: for
mine
anger is turned away from him.
28:014:005 I will be as the dew unto Israel:
he shall grow as the lily,
and
cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
28:014:006 His branches shall spread, and his beauty
shall be as the
olive
tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
28:014:007 They that dwell under his shadow shall
return; they shall
revive
as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof
shall
be as the wine of Lebanon.
28:014:008 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any
more with idols? I
have
heard him, and observed him: I am like a green
fir tree.
From
me is thy fruit found.
28:014:009 Who is wise, and he shall understand these
things? prudent,
and
he shall know them? for the ways of the lord are
right,
and
the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors
shall
fall
therein.
Book 29 Joel
29:001:001 The word of the lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
29:001:002 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all
ye inhabitants of the
land.
Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of
your
fathers?
29:001:003 Tell ye your children of it, and let your
children tell their
children,
and their children another generation.
29:001:004 That which the palmerworm hath left hath
the locust eaten; and
that
which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten;
and
that
which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller
eaten.
