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 6 - Listen
1
Now Jericho
was straitly
shut up
because
of the children
of Israel:
none went out,
and none came in.
2
And the LORD
said
unto Joshua,
See,
I have given
into thine hand
Jericho,
and the king
thereof, and the mighty men
of valour.
3
And ye shall compass
the city,
all ye men
of war,
and go round about
the city
once.
*
Thus shalt thou do
six
days.
4
And seven
priests
shall bear
before
the ark
seven
trumpets
of rams' horns:
and the seventh
day
ye shall compass
the city
seven
times,
and the priests
shall blow
with the trumpets.
5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long
blast with the ram's
horn,
and when ye hear
the sound
of the trumpet,
all the people
shall shout
with a great
shout;
and the wall
of the city
shall fall down
flat,
and the people
shall ascend up
every man
6
And Joshua
the son
of Nun
called
the priests,
and said
unto them, Take up
the ark
of the covenant,
and let seven
priests
bear
seven
trumpets
of rams' horns
before
the ark
of the LORD.
7
And he said
unto the people,
Pass on,
and compass
the city,
and let him that is armed
pass on
before
the ark
of the LORD.
8
And it came to pass, when Joshua
had spoken
unto the people,
that the seven
priests
bearing
the seven
trumpets
of rams' horns
passed on
before
the LORD,
and blew
with the trumpets:
and the ark
of the covenant
of the LORD
followed
them.
9
And the armed
men went
before
the priests
that blew
*
with the trumpets,
and the rereward
came
after
the ark,
the priests going on,
and blowing
with the trumpets.
10
And Joshua
had commanded
the people,
saying,
Ye shall not shout,
nor make any noise
with your voice,
neither shall any word
proceed
out of your mouth,
until the day
I bid
you shout;
then shall ye shout.
11
So the ark
of the LORD
compassed
the city,
going about
it once:
*
and they came
into the camp,
and lodged
in the camp.
12
And Joshua
rose early
in the morning,
and the priests
took up
the ark
of the LORD.
13
And seven
priests
bearing
seven
trumpets
of rams' horns
before
the ark
of the LORD
went on
continually,
and blew
with the trumpets:
and the armed men
went
before
them; but the rereward
came
after
the ark
of the LORD,
the priests going on,
and blowing
with the trumpets.
14
And the second
day
they compassed
the city
once,
*
and returned
into the camp:
so they did
six
days.
15
And it came to pass on the seventh
day,
that they rose early
about the dawning
of the day,
and compassed
the city
after the same manner
seven
times:
only on that day
they compassed
the city
seven
times.
16
And it came to pass at the seventh
time,
when the priests
blew
with the trumpets,
Joshua
said
unto the people,
Shout;
for the LORD
hath given
you the city.
17
And the city
shall be accursed,
even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD:
only Rahab
the harlot
shall live,
she and all that are with her in the house,
because she hid
the messengers
that we sent.
18
And ye, in any wise
keep
yourselves from the accursed thing,
lest ye make yourselves accursed,
when ye take
of the accursed thing,
and make
the camp
of Israel
a curse,
and trouble
19
But all the silver,
and gold,
and vessels
of brass
and iron,
are consecrated
unto the LORD:
they shall come
into the treasury
of the LORD.
20
So the people
shouted
when the priests blew
with the trumpets:
and it came to pass, when the people
heard
the sound
of the trumpet,
and the people
shouted
with a great
shout,
that the wall
fell down flat,
so that the people
went up
into the city,
every man
straight before him, and they took
the city.
21
And they utterly destroyed
all that was in the city,
both man
and woman,
young
and old,
and ox,
and sheep,
and ass,
with the edge
of the sword.
22
But Joshua
had said
unto the two
men
that had spied out
the country,
Go
into the harlot's
house,
and bring out
thence the woman,
and all that she hath, as ye sware
23
And the young men
that were spies
went in,
and brought out
Rahab,
and her father,
and her mother,
and her brethren,
and all that she had; and they brought out
all her kindred,
and left
them without
the camp
of Israel.
24
And they burnt
the city
with fire,
and all that was therein: only the silver,
and the gold,
and the vessels
of brass
and of iron,
they put
into the treasury
of the house
of the LORD.
25
And Joshua
saved
*
Rahab
the harlot
alive,
and her father's
household,
and all that she had; and she dwelleth
in
Israel
even unto this day;
because she hid
the messengers,
which Joshua
sent
to spy out
Jericho.
26
And Joshua
adjured
them at that time,
saying,
Cursed
be the man
before
the LORD,
that riseth up
and buildeth
this city
Jericho:
he shall lay the foundation
thereof in his firstborn,
and in his youngest
son shall he set up
the gates
27
So the LORD
was with Joshua;
and his fame
was noised throughout all the country.
