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 3 - Listen
1
And Joshua
rose early
in the morning;
and they removed
from Shittim,
and came
to Jordan,
he and all the children
of Israel,
and lodged
there before they passed over.
2
And it came to pass after
three
days,
that the officers
went
through
the host;
3
And they commanded
the people,
saying,
When ye see
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
your God,
and the priests
the Levites
bearing
it, then ye shall remove
from your place,
and go
after
4
Yet there shall be a space
between you and it, about two thousand
cubits
by measure:
come not near
unto it, that ye may know
the way
by which ye must go:
for ye have not passed
this way
heretofore.
*
5
And Joshua
said
unto the people,
Sanctify
yourselves: for to morrow
the LORD
will do
wonders
among
6
And Joshua
spake
unto the priests,
saying,
Take up
the ark
of the covenant,
and pass over
before
the people.
And they took up
the ark
of the covenant,
and went
before
the people.
7
And the LORD
said
unto Joshua,
This day
will I begin
to magnify
thee in the sight
of all Israel,
that they may know
that, as I was with Moses,
8
And thou shalt command
the priests
that bear
the ark
of the covenant,
saying,
When ye are come
to the brink
of the water
of Jordan,
ye shall stand still
in Jordan.
9
And Joshua
said
unto the children
of Israel,
Come hither,
and hear
the words
of the LORD
your God.
10
And Joshua
said,
Hereby ye shall know
that the living
God
is among
you, and that he will without fail
drive out
from before
you the Canaanites,
and the Hittites,
and the Hivites,
and the Perizzites,
and the Girgashites,
and the Amorites,
and the Jebusites.
11
Behold, the ark
of the covenant
of the Lord
of all the earth
passeth over
before
you into Jordan.
12
Now therefore take
you twelve
*
men
out of the tribes
of Israel,
out of every
tribe
a man.
13
And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles
of the feet
of the priests
that bear
the ark
of the LORD,
the Lord
of all the earth,
shall rest
in the waters
of Jordan,
that the waters
of Jordan
shall be cut off
from the waters
that come down
from above;
and they shall stand
upon an
heap.
14
And it came to pass, when the people
removed
from their tents,
to pass over
Jordan,
and the priests
bearing
the ark
of the covenant
before
the people;
15
And as they that bare
the ark
were come
unto Jordan,
and the feet
of the priests
that bare
the ark
were dipped
in the brim
of the water,
(for Jordan
overfloweth
all his banks
all the time
of harvest,)
16
That the waters
which came down
from above
stood
and rose up
upon an
heap
very
far
from the city
Adam,
that is beside
Zaretan:
and those that came down
toward the sea
of the plain,
even the salt
sea,
failed,
and were cut off:
and the people
passed over
right against Jericho.
17
And the priests
that bare
the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
stood
firm
on dry ground
in the midst
of Jordan,
and all the Israelites
passed over
on dry ground,
until all the people
were passed
*
clean
over
Jordan.
