    Of goats and bulls,
    All of them fatlings of Bashan.
19   You shall eat fat till you are full,
    And drink blood till you are drunk,
    At My sacrificial meal
    Which I am sacrificing for you.

    With horses and riders,
    With mighty men
    And with all the men of war," says the LORD God.

25   "Look!" he answered,"I see four men loose,
walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not
hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son
of God."

      maidservants
  I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

  day of the LORD. 
32  And it shall come to pass
  That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
  Shall be saved.
  For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there
      shall be deliverance,
  As the LORD has said,
  Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.
 
 
 
AMOS  8 : 4 - 10
 
4  Hear this, you who swallow up the needy,
  And make the poor of the land fail,
 
5  Saying:
 
  "When will the New Moon be past,
  That we may sell grain?
  And the Sabbath,
  That we may trade wheat?
  Making the ephah small and the shekel large,
  Falsifying the scales by deceit,
6  That we may buy the poor for silver,
  And the needy for a pair of sandals-
  Even sell the bad wheat?"
 
7 The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob:
  "Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8  Shall the land not tremble for this,
  And everyone mourn who dwells in it?
  All of it shall swell like the River,
  Heave and subside
  Like the River of Egypt.
 
9  "And it shall come to pass in that day,"
  says the LORD God,
  "That I will make the sun go down at noon,
  And I will darken the earth in broad daylight;
10  I will turn your feasts into mourning,
  And all your songs into lamentation;
  I will bring sackcloth on every waist,
  And baldness on every head;
  I will make it like mourning for an only son,
  And it's end like a bitter day.
 
 
 
JONAH  2 : 1 - 10
 
 
  Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the fish's belly.
2  And he said:
 
  "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction,
  And He answered me.
 
  "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
  And You heard my voice.
3  For you cast me into the deep,
  Into the heart of the seas,
  And the floods surrounded me;
  All Your billows and Your wavespassed over
    me.
4  Then I said, 'I have been cast out of Your sight;
  Yet i will look again toward your holy temple.'
5  The waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
  The deep closed around me;
  Weeds were wrapped around my head,
6  I went down to the moorings of the mountains;
  The earth with it's bars closed behind me
    forever;
  Yet You have brought up my life from the pit,
  O LORD, my God.
 
7  "When my soul fainted with me,
  I remembered the LORD;
  And my prayer went up to You,
  Into Your holy temple.
 
8  "Those who regard worthless idols
  forsake their own Mercy.
9  But I will sacrifice to You
  With the voice of thanksgiving;
  I will pay what I have vowed.
  Salvation is of the LORD."
 
 
 
MICAH  3 : 6 - 7
 
6  "Therefore you shall have night without vision,
  And you shal have darkness without divination;
  The sun shall go down on the prophets,
  And the day shal be dark for them.
7  So the seers shall be ashamed,
  And the diviners abashed;
  Indeed they shall all cover their lips;
  For there is no answer from God."
 
 
 
NAHUM  1 : 14
 
  The LORD has given a command concerning
    you:
  "Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.
  Out of the house of your gods
  I will cut off the carved image and the molded
    image.
  I will dig your grave,
  For you are vile."
 
 
 
HABAKKUK  2  : 15 - 16
 
15  "Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
  Pressing him to your bottle,
  Even to make him drunk,
  That you may look on his nakedness!
16   You are filled with shame instead of glory.
  You also--drink!
  And be exposed as uncircumsized!
  The cup of the LORD's right hand will be
    turned against you,
  And utter shame will be your glory.
 
 
 
ZECHARIAH  3 : 7 - 10
 
7  "Thus says the LORD of hosts:
 
    'If you will walk in My ways,
    And if you will keep My command,
    Then you shal also judge My house,
    And likewise have charge of My courts;
    I willgive you places to walk
    Among these who stand here.
 
8  Here O Joshua the high priest,
    You and your companions who sit before you,
    For they are a wonderous sign;
    For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant
      the BRANCH.
9    For behold the stone
      That I have laid before joshua:
    Upon the stone are seven eyes.
    Behold, I will engrave it's inscription,'
    Says the LORD of hosts,
    'And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10  In that day, says the LORD of hosts,
    'Everyone will invite his neighbor
    Under his vine and under his fig tree.'"
