Hosea 2 - Listen
1
Say
ye unto your brethren,
Ammi;
and to your sisters,
Ruhamah.
2
Plead
with your mother,
plead:
for she is not my wife,
neither am I her husband:
let her therefore put away
her whoredoms
out of her sight,
and her adulteries
from between her breasts;
3
Lest I strip
her naked,
and set
her as in the day
that she was born,
and make
her as a wilderness,
and set
her like a dry
land,
and slay
her with thirst.
4
And I will not have mercy
upon her children;
for they be the children
of whoredoms.
5
For their mother
hath played the harlot:
she that conceived
them hath done shamefully:
for she said,
I will go
after
my lovers,
that give
me my bread
and my water,
my wool
and my flax,
mine oil
and my drink.
6
Therefore, behold, I will hedge
up thy way
with thorns,
and make
a wall,
that she shall not find
her paths.
7
And she shall follow
after her lovers,
but she shall not overtake
them; and she shall seek
them, but shall not find
them: then shall she say,
I will go
and return
to my first
husband;
for then was it better
with me than now.
8
For she did not know
that I gave
her corn,
and wine,
and oil,
and multiplied
her silver
and gold,
which they prepared
for Baal.
9
Therefore will I return,
and take away
my corn
in the time
thereof, and my wine
in the season
thereof, and will recover
my wool
and my flax
given to cover
her nakedness.
10
And now will I discover
her lewdness
in the sight
of her lovers,
and none
shall deliver
her out of mine hand.
11
I will also cause all her mirth
to cease,
her feast days,
her new moons,
and her sabbaths,
and all her solemn feasts.
12
And I will destroy
her vines
and her fig trees,
whereof she hath said,
These are my rewards
that my lovers
have given
me: and I will make
them a forest,
and the beasts
of the field
shall eat
13
And I will visit
upon her the days
of Baalim,
wherein she burned incense
to them, and she decked
herself with her earrings
and her jewels,
and she went
after
her lovers,
and forgat
me, saith
the LORD.
14
Therefore, behold, I will allure
her, and bring
her into the wilderness,
and speak
comfortably
15
And I will give
her her vineyards
from thence, and the valley
of Achor
for a door
of hope:
and she shall sing
there, as in the days
of her youth,
and as in the day
when she came up
out of the land
of Egypt.
16
And it shall be at that day,
saith
the LORD,
that thou shalt call
me Ishi;
and shalt call
me no more Baali.
17
For I will take away
the names
of Baalim
out of her mouth,
and they shall no more be remembered
by their name.
18
And in that day
will I make
a covenant
for them with the beasts
of the field,
and with the fowls
of heaven,
and with the creeping things
of the ground:
and I will break
the bow
and the sword
and the battle
out of the earth,
and will make them to lie down
safely.
19
And I will betroth
thee unto me for ever;
yea, I will betroth
thee unto me in righteousness,
and in judgment,
and in lovingkindness,
and in mercies.
20
I will even betroth
thee unto me in faithfulness:
and thou shalt know
the LORD.
21
And it shall come to pass in that day,
I will hear,
saith
the LORD,
I will hear
the heavens,
and they shall hear
the earth;
22
And the earth
shall hear
the corn,
and the wine,
and the oil;
and they shall hear
Jezreel.
23
And I will sow
her unto me in the earth;
and I will have mercy
upon her that had not obtained mercy;
*
and I will say
to them which were not my people,
Thou art my people;
and they shall say,
Thou art my God.
21
I will hear
the heavens,
and they shall hear
the earth;
22
And the earth
shall hear
the corn,
and the wine,
and the oil;
and they shall hear
Jezreel.
23
And I will sow
her unto me in the earth;
and I will have mercy
upon her that had not obtained mercy;
*
and I will say
to them which were not my people,
Thou art my people;
and they shall say,
Thou art my God.

Joshua 1 - Listen
1
Now after
the death
of Moses
the servant
of the LORD
it came to pass, that the LORD
spake
unto Joshua
the son
of Nun,
Moses'
minister,
saying,
2
Moses
my servant
is dead;
now therefore arise,
go over
this Jordan,
thou, and all this people,
unto the land
which I do give
to them, even to the children
of Israel.
3
Every place
that the sole
of your foot
shall tread upon,
that have I given
unto you, as I said
unto Moses.
4
From the wilderness
and this Lebanon
even unto the great
river,
the river
Euphrates,
all the land
of the Hittites,
and unto the great
sea
toward the going down
of the sun,
shall be your coast.
5
There shall not any man
be able to stand
before
thee all the days
of thy life:
as I was with Moses,
so I will be with thee: I will not fail
thee, nor forsake
6
Be strong
and of a good courage:
for unto this people
shalt thou divide for an inheritance
the land,
which I sware
unto their fathers
to give
7
Only be thou strong
and very
courageous,
that thou mayest observe
to do
according to all the law,
which Moses
my servant
commanded
thee: turn
not from it to the right hand
or to the left,
that thou mayest prosper
whithersoever thou goest.
8
This book
of the law
shall not depart
out of thy mouth;
but thou shalt meditate
therein day
and night,
that thou mayest observe
to do
according to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make
*
thy way
prosperous,
and then thou shalt have good success.
9
Have not I commanded
thee? Be strong
and of a good courage;
be not afraid,
neither be thou dismayed:
for the LORD
thy God
is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10
Then Joshua
commanded
the officers
of the people,
saying,
11
Pass
through
the host,
and command
the people,
saying,
Prepare
you victuals;
for within three
days
ye shall pass over
this Jordan,
to go in
to possess
the land,
which the LORD
your God
giveth
you to possess
12
And to the Reubenites,
and to the Gadites,
and to half
the tribe
of Manasseh,
spake
Joshua,
saying,
13
Remember
the word
which Moses
the servant
of the LORD
commanded
you, saying,
The LORD
your God
hath given you rest,
and hath given
you this land.
14
Your wives,
your little ones,
and your cattle,
shall remain
in the land
which Moses
gave
you on this side
Jordan;
but ye shall pass
before
your brethren
armed,
all the mighty
men of valour,
and help
15
Until the LORD
have given
*
your brethren
rest,
as he hath given you, and they also have possessed
the land
which the LORD
your God
giveth
them: then ye shall return
unto the land
of your possession,
and enjoy
it, which Moses
the LORD'S
servant
gave
you on this side
Jordan
toward the sunrising.
*
16
And they answered
Joshua,
saying,
All that thou commandest
us we will do,
and whithersoever
thou sendest
us, we will go.
17
According as we hearkened
unto Moses
in all things, so will we hearken
unto thee: only the LORD
thy God
be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18
Whosoever
he be that doth rebel
against thy commandment,
and will not hearken
unto thy words
in all that thou commandest
him, he shall be put to death:
only be strong
and of a good courage.
