Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with A strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee A wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD.

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.

• Door

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.

• Character
• Truth

Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath A controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

They return, but not to the most High: they are like A deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

They shall tremble as A bird out of Egypt, and as A dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

For A nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of A lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of A great lion.

• Government

Sanctify ye A fast, call A solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

A fire devoureth before them; and behind them A flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them A desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.

But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into A land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

Egypt shall be A desolation, and Edom shall be A desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

• Cord

Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in A polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as A flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send A famine in the land, not A famine of bread, nor A thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like A flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

• Punishment

Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even A speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

And I called for A drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is A little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

But I scattered them with A whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

• Righteous

And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people: for they shall be as the stones of A crown, lifted up as an ensign upon his land.

For, lo, I will raise up A shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

All the land shall be turned as A plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be A delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

• Governor

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come A Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

• Chiding
• Cowardice
• Faith

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him A great multitude, so that he entered into A ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land. And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine, Hearken; Behold, there went out A sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. read more And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables? The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for A time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended. And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. And he said unto them, Is A candle brought to be put under A bushel, or under A bed? and not to be set on A candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if A man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come. And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like A grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without A parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples. And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. And there arose A great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on A pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was A great calm. And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? show less

But I tell you of A truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;

And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out A little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city A certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

And when he had spent all, there arose A mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

And the other disciples came in A little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.

• Bread

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw A fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in A strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years.

Now there came A dearth over all the land of Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance.

Then fled Moses at this saying, and was A stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons.
