Discovery Box| (1.00) | Jon 1:9 |
| He said to them, “I am a Hebrew! And I worship 1 the Lord, 2 the God of heaven, 3 who made the sea and the dry land.” |
| (1.00) | Jon 1:11 |
| Because the storm was growing worse and worse, 1 they said to him, “What should we do to you to make 2 the sea calm down 3 for us?” |
| (1.00) | Jon 1:13 |
| Instead, they tried to row 1 back to land, 2 but they were not able to do so 3 because the storm kept growing worse and worse. 4 |
| (1.00) | Jon 1:16 |
| The men feared the Lord 1 greatly, 2 and earnestly vowed 3 to offer lavish sacrifices 4 to the Lord. 5 |
| (1.00) | Jon 2:2 |
| and said, “I 1 called out to the Lord from my distress, and he answered me; 2 from the belly of Sheol 3 I cried out for help, and you heard my prayer. 4 |
| (1.00) | Jon 2:8 |
| Those who worship 1 worthless idols 2 forfeit the mercy that could be theirs. 3 |
| (1.00) | Jon 2:9 |
| But as for me, I promise to offer a sacrifice to you with a public declaration 1 of praise; 2 I will surely do 3 what I have promised. 4 Salvation 5 belongs to the Lord!” 6 |
| (1.00) | Jon 3:1 |
| The Lord said to Jonah 1 a second time, |
| (1.00) | Jon 3:2 |
| “Go immediately 1 to Nineveh, that large city, 2 and proclaim to 3 it the message that I tell you.” |
| (1.00) | Jon 3:3 |
| So Jonah went immediately to Nineveh, as the Lord had said. (Now Nineveh was an enormous city 1 – it required three days to walk through it!) 2 |
| (1.00) | Jon 3:6 |
| When the news 1 reached the king of Nineveh, he got up from his throne, took off his royal robe, put on sackcloth, and sat on ashes. |
| (1.00) | Jon 3:10 |
| When God saw their actions – they turned 1 from their evil way of living! 2 – God relented concerning the judgment 3 he had threatened them with 4 and he did not destroy them. 5 |
| (1.00) | Jon 4:7 |
| So God sent 1 a worm at dawn the next day, and it attacked the little plant so that it dried up. |
| (1.00) | Jon 4:10 |
| The Lord said, “You were upset 1 about this little 2 plant, something for which you have not worked nor did you do anything to make it grow. It grew up overnight and died the next day. 3 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:1 |
| This is the prophetic message that the Lord gave to 1 Micah of Moresheth. He delivered this message 2 during the reigns of 3 Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. The prophecies pertain to 4 Samaria 5 and Jerusalem. 6 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:2 |
| Listen, all you nations! 1 Pay attention, all inhabitants of earth! 2 The sovereign Lord will testify 3 against you; the Lord will accuse you 4 from his majestic palace. 5 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:5 |
| All this is because of Jacob’s rebellion and 1 the sins of the nation 2 of Israel. How has Jacob rebelled, you ask? 3 Samaria epitomizes their rebellion! 4 Where are Judah’s pagan worship centers, you ask? 5 They are right in Jerusalem! 6 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:7 |
| All her carved idols will be smashed to pieces; all her metal cult statues will be destroyed by fire. 1 I will make a waste heap 2 of all her images. Since 3 she gathered the metal 4 as a prostitute collects her wages, the idols will become a prostitute’s wages again.” 5 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:10 |
| Don’t spread the news in Gath! 1 Don’t shed even a single tear! 2 In Beth Leaphrah sit in the dust! 3 |
| (1.00) | Mic 1:13 |
| Residents of Lachish, 1 hitch the horses to the chariots! You 2 influenced Daughter Zion 3 to sin, 4 for Israel’s rebellious deeds can be traced back 5 to you! |
