I did not send them or order them to go. They are of no help at all to the people. I Jehovah have spoken!

I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsely in my name. They say: 'I had a dream! I had a dream! How long?

I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation (those living at that time). read more.

She rested in his arms and was like a daughter to him. read more.
Now, a visitor came to the rich man. The rich man thought it would be a pity to take one of his own sheep or cattle to prepare a meal for the traveler. So he took the poor man's lamb and prepared it for the traveler. David became very angry with the rich man. He said: I swear by the living God Jehovah that the man who did this should die! For doing such a cruel thing he should pay back four times for the lamb he took, for he had no compassion.

Son of man, tell this riddle. Give this illustration to the nation of Israel. Say The Lord Jehovah says: A large eagle came to Lebanon. It had large wings with long, colorful feathers. It took hold of the top of a cedar tree. It broke off the highest twig and carried it to a country of merchants. It planted the twig in a city of merchants. read more.
Then it took a seedling from that country and planted the seedling in fertile soil. The eagle planted the seedling like a willow where there was plenty of water. The plant sprouted and grew into a low vine that spread over the ground. Its branches turned upward toward the eagle. Its roots grew downward. Thus it became a vine, producing branches and growing shoots. There was another large eagle with large wings and many feathers. Now, the vine stretched its roots toward this eagle and sent its branches toward the eagle so that the eagle could water it. The vine turned away from the garden where it was planted. It was planted in good soil beside plenty of water so that it could grow branches, bear fruit, and become a wonderful vine.' Say, 'The Lord Jehovah says: Will it thrive? Will he not pull up its roots and cut off its fruit, so that it and all its sprouting leaves wither? And neither by great strength nor by many people can it be raised from its roots again. Though it is transplanted, will it thrive? Will it not completely wither as soon as the east wind strikes it, wither on the beds where it grew?'

Let me sing to my loved one a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hill. He dug the soil all around and removed its stones. He planted it with the choicest vine. And he built a tower in the middle of it and also hewed out a wine vat in it. Then he expected it to produce good grapes, but it only produced worthless ones. Now then, you inhabitants of Jerusalem and Judah, judge between my vineyard and me! read more.
What more could have been done for my vineyard than what I have already done for it? When I waited for it to produce good grapes, why did it produce only sour, wild grapes? Here is what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge and break down the wall that protects it. I will let wild animals eat it and trample it down. It will turn into a desert, neither pruned nor cultivated. It will be covered with thorns and briars. I will command the clouds not to send rain. I am Jehovah of Hosts (All Powerful)! Israel is the vineyard, and Judah is the garden I tended with care. I had hoped for honesty and for justice, but dishonesty and cries for mercy were all I found.

I said: Alas, O Lord Jehovah, prophets are telling them: 'You will not see wars or famines, for I will give you lasting peace in this place. Jehovah then told me: These are the lies that the prophets are telling in my name: They claim that I sent them. They claim that I commanded them. They claim that I spoke to them. They even dreamed up visions to tell you. Their predictions are worthless! They are the products of their own imagination. I did not send these prophets. Yet, they prophesy in my name that there will be no wars or famines in this land. So this is what I, Jehovah, say about them: 'Wars and famines will bring an end to these prophets. read more.
The people to whom they prophesy will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem. They will be victims of famines and wars. No one will bury them, their wives, their sons, or their daughters. I will pour on them the destruction that they deserve.'

You, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into captivity. You will enter Babylon, and there you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have falsely prophesied.'

Because of this, Jehovah says: 'I am going to get rid of you. Before this year is over you will die because you have told the people to rebel against Jehovah.' Hananiah died in the seventh month of that same year.

Jehovah says: 'I will punish Shemaiah from Nehelam. I will also punish his descendants. No one from his family will be left alive. He will not see the blessings that I am going to send my people,' declares Jehovah, 'because he has encouraged rebellion against Jehovah.''

It will happen when any attempt to prophesy, the father and mother who gave birth to him will say to him: You will not live, for you speak lies in the name of Jehovah. They will stab him through when he prophesies.

So he asked Jehovah what to do. But Jehovah did not answer him. He did not answer by dreams or by the use of Urim and Thummim or by prophets.

Her gates have gone down into the earth. He destroyed her locks and bars. Her king and her princes are among the nations where there is no law. Her prophets have had no vision from Jehovah.

He took thirty thousand pieces of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of fine clothes. read more.
The letter stated: This letter will introduce my officer Naaman. I want you to cure him of his leprosy. The king of Israel read the letter and tore his clothes and said: How can the king of Syria expect me to cure this man? Does he think that I am God, with the power of life and death?

I will show him that there is a prophet in Israel!

Jehovah spoke to the prophet Jehu son of Hanani and gave him this message to give to Baasha:

The word of Jehovah came to the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani. This was a warning against Baasha and his family because of all the evil he did in the eyes of Jehovah. He made Jehovah angry by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he killed him.

A group of prophets who lived at Bethel asked Elisha: Do you know that Jehovah is going to take your master away from you today? Yes, I know, Elisha answered. But let us not talk about it.

Saul sent messengers to get David. They saw a group of prophets prophesying with their leader Samuel. God's Spirit came over Saul's messengers so that they also prophesied.

A group of prophets who lived at Jericho went to Elisha and asked him: Do you know that Jehovah is going to take your master away from you today? Yes, I know, Elisha answered. But let us not talk about it.

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah. This was what Jehovah said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gathhepher.

Now the word of Jehovah came to Jonah the son of Amittai. He said:

He answered them: An evil and adulterous generation seeks a sign. No sign will be given but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

He did what Jehovah his God considered evil. He did not humble himself in front of the prophet Jeremiah, who spoke Jehovah's word.

This fulfilled the word of Jehovah that was spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its Sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept Sabbath until seventy years were complete.

But you must remain strong and not become discouraged. Your actions will be rewarded.

God's Spirit came to Azariah, son of Oded. Azariah went to Asa and said: Listen to me Asa and all you men from Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah is with you when you are with him. If you will dedicate your lives to serve him, he will accept you. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.

The messenger who went to get Micaiah said to him: All the other prophets have prophesied success for the king. You had better do the same.

They say to the seers: Do not see the future. They say to those who have visions: 'Do not have visions that tell us what is right. Tell us what we want to hear. Prophesy illusions.

But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying: 'Do Not Prophesy!'

When the boy Samuel was serving Jehovah under the direction of Eli, there were very few messages from Jehovah. Visions from him were rare.

Behold, the day is coming, said the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land. Not a famine of bread, or a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. They will wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east. They will run to and fro to seek the word of Jehovah, and will not find it.

We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet. There is no one who knows how long.

The rest of the acts of Solomon from first to last are written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and in Iddo the seer's visions about Jeroboam son of Nebat.

The events concerning Rehoboam from first to last are written in the records of the prophet Shemaiah and the records of the seer Iddo in the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam as long as they lived.

Early the next morning the people went out to the wild country near Tekoa. Before they began Jehoshaphat addressed them with these words: 'People of Judah and Jerusalem! Put your trust in Jehovah your God. You will stand your ground. Believe what his prophets tell you, and you will succeed.

Jehovah your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. Listen to him!

The rest of the acts of Solomon from first to last are written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and in Iddo the seer's visions about Jeroboam son of Nebat.

The history of King David from beginning to end is recorded in the records of the three prophets, Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.

Asa heard the prophet Oded's words of prophecy. He was encouraged and put away the detestable idols from all of Judah, Benjamin, and the cities he had captured in the mountains of Ephraim. He also repaired Jehovah's altar in front of Jehovah's entrance hall.

Azariah went to Asa and said: Listen to me Asa and all you men from Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah is with you when you are with him. If you will dedicate your lives to serve him, he will accept you. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.

Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne.

I always keep Jehovah in front of me. When he is at my right hand (assisting me), I cannot be moved. That is why my heart is glad and I rejoice. My body rests securely. You do not abandon me to the grave or allow your holy one to decay. read more.
You make the path of life known to me. Complete joy is in your presence. It is pleasant to be at your right hand forever.

David spoke concerning him: 'I had Jehovah always before my face, for he is at my right hand, that I should not be shaken. (Psalm 16:8)

The history of King David from beginning to end is recorded in the records of the three prophets, Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.

When David got up in the morning, Jehovah spoke his word to the prophet Gad, David's seer.

The widow of a member of a group of prophets said to Elisha: My husband has died! As you know, he was a man who respected God. A man to whom he owed money came to take away my two sons as slaves in payment for my husband's debt.

When there was a famine throughout the land, Elisha returned to Gilgal. He was teaching a group of prophets. He told his servant to put a big pot on the fire and make some stew for them.

A man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbors by the word of Jehovah: Give me a wound. But the man would not.

Elisha the prophet called one of the young prophets and said to him: Prepare to go to Ramoth in Gilead. Take this jar of olive oil with you.

A group of prophets who lived at Bethel asked Elisha: Do you know that Jehovah is going to take your master away from you today? Yes, I know, Elisha answered. But let us not talk about it. Then Elijah said to Elisha: Stay here for Jehovah has ordered me to go to Jericho. But Elisha answered: I swear by my loyalty to the living God Jehovah and to you that I will not leave you. So the two of them went on to Jericho. A group of prophets who lived at Jericho went to Elisha and asked him: Do you know that Jehovah is going to take your master away from you today? Yes, I know, Elisha answered. But let us not talk about it. read more.
Then Elijah said to Elisha: Stay here for Jehovah has ordered me to go to the Jordan River. But Elisha answered: I swear by my loyalty to the living God Jehovah and to you that I will not leave you. So they went on, and fifty of the prophets followed them to the Jordan. Elijah and Elisha stopped by the river. The fifty prophets stood a short distance away. Then Elijah took off his cloak. He rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided, and he and Elisha crossed to the other side on dry ground. Elijah said to Elisha: Tell me what you want me to do for you before I am taken from you. Elisha answered: Let me receive a double share of your spirit (power). That is a difficult request to grant, Elijah replied. But you will receive it if you see me as I am being taken away from you. If you do not see me, you will not receive it. They kept talking as they walked. Then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them. Elijah was taken up into the physical heaven (the sky) by a whirlwind. Elisha saw it and cried out to Elijah: My father, my father! Mighty defender of Israel! You are gone! He never saw Elijah again. In grief Elisha tore his cloak in two. He picked up Elijah's cloak that had fallen from him. He returned to stand by the bank of the Jordan. Elisha struck the water with Elijah's cloak and said: Where is Jehovah, the God of Elijah? Then he struck the water again, and it divided, and he walked over to the other side. The fifty prophets from Jericho saw him and said: The power of Elijah is on Elisha! So they went to meet him and bowed down before him.

You are to kill your master the king of the house of Ahab. I am punishing Jezebel for murdering my prophets and my other servants.

He did not permit anyone to oppress them. He warned kings about them: Do not touch my anointed ones or harm my prophets.

I John saw these things and heard them. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. He said to me: Do not do that, for I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and of those who obey the words of this book: worship God.

After I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision I sought to understand it. Behold, there appeared before me a man standing. I heard a man's voice from the banks of the Ulai River. He called to Gabriel: Make this man understand the vision of the time of the end. He came near where I stood. I was afraid and fell to my face. But he said to me: Understand, O son of man the vision belongs to the time of the end. read more.
He spoke to me while I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground. He touched me, and set me upright. He said: I will make you know what will happen in the final time of indignation for the vision is for the appointed time of the end. The ram that you saw that had the two horns symbolizes (represents) the kings of MEDIA and PERSIA. And the rough he-goat is the king of GREECE. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. As for that which was broken, in the place where four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power. Toward the end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their fullness, a FIERCE KING will arise who will understand sinister schemes. He will be mighty, but not by his own power. He will destroy excessively (cause great devistation) and will prosper and do anything he wants to do. He will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. Through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. He will boast about himself in his heart. In their security they will destroy many. He will even stand up against the prince of princes; but he will be destroyed without human power. The vision told about the evenings and mornings is true: but seal up the vision. It belongs to the future.

Then Jehovah's Spirit came to Jahaziel. He was the son of Zechariah, grandson of Benaiah, great-grandson of Jeiel, whose father was Mattaniah, a Levite descended from Asaph.

Micaiah answered: By the living God Jehovah I promise that I will say what he tells me to say!

Take a scroll, and write on it everything that I have dictated to you about Israel, Judah, and all the other nations from the time I spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.

A letter came to him from the prophet Elijah. It read: This is what Jehovah the God of your ancestor David says: You have not followed the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of King Asa of Judah.

Elisha the prophet answered: By the living God Jehovah whom I serve, I swear that I will not accept a gift. Naaman insisted that he accept it, but he would not.

Balaam answered Balak's servants: Even if Balak gave me his palace filled with silver and gold, I could not disobey the command of Jehovah my God no matter whether the request was important or not.

The king said: Go to the king of Israel and take this letter to him. Naaman departed. He took thirty thousand pieces of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of fine clothes.

Then the king said to the prophet: Come home with me and have something to eat. I will reward you for what you have done. The prophet answered: Even if you gave me half of your wealth, I would not go with you or eat or drink anything with you.

Rejoice, and be filled with joy, for great is your reward in heaven. The prophets, who came before you, were also persecuted.

They mocked God's messengers. They despised his words, and made fun of his prophets until Jehovah became angry with his people. He could no longer heal them.

Jehovah the God of their ancestors repeatedly sent messages through his prophets because he wanted to spare his people and his dwelling place.

I make the word of my servant come true. I accomplish the purpose of my messengers. I say of Jerusalem, 'She will be inhabited!' And I say to the cities of Judah, 'You will be rebuilt! I will make your ruins raise up.'

It was the second year that Darius was king of Persia. Jehovah spoke through Haggai the prophet in the sixth month, on the first day of the month. The message was delivered to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and to the High Priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak.

The prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

The responsible men of the Jews went on with their building and progressed rapidly. The teaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, helped them. They went on building till it was complete. They kept the word of the God of Israel, and the orders of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes, king of Persia.

Samuel grew up. Jehovah was with him and did not let any of his words go unfulfilled (fail). All Israel from Dan to Beersheba knew Samuel was Jehovah's appointed prophet. Jehovah continued to appear in Shiloh, since Jehovah revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh through the word of Jehovah. And Samuel spoke to all Israel.

I heard the voice of Jehovah. He said: Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? And I said: Here I am. Send me! He said: Go and tell this people: 'Hear constantly but do not understand. See constantly but do not perceive.'

But if I say: I will not remember him or speak anymore in his name, then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in. I cannot endure it.

Then Jehovah stretched out his hand and touched my mouth. Jehovah said to me: I have put my words in your mouth. Today I have appointed you in charge of nations and kingdoms. You will uproot and tear down. You will destroy and overthrow. You will build and plant.

They resented him. But Jesus responded to them: A prophet is without honor in his own country, and in his own house.

Jesus testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.

He continued: Truly I tell you no prophet is accepted (welcomed) (honored) in his own country. I tell you truth. There were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah. There was no rain from heaven three years and six months. There came a great famine over all the land. Elijah was not sent to any of them. He was only sent to Zarephath in the land of Sidon. She was a widow. read more.
There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet. Only one of them was cleansed, Naaman the Syrian.

So I weep, as Jazer weeps, for the vines of Sibmah. O Heshbon, O Elealeh, I drench you with tears! The shouts of joy over your ripened fruit and over your harvests have been stilled. Joy and gladness are taken away from the orchards. No one sings or shouts in the vineyards! No one treads out wine at the presses, for I have put an end to the shouting. That is why my heart mourns for Moab like a harp. I mourn for Kir Hareseth.

Oh that my head were waters and my eyes a fountain of tears. Then I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! I wish I had a dwelling in the desert. I would abandon my people and go away from them. They are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. They bend their tongue like their bow. Lies and not truth prevail in the land. They move from evil to evil. They do not know me, says Jehovah. read more.
Let everyone be on guard against his neighbor. Do not trust any brother because every brother deals craftily (cunningly), and every neighbor goes about as a slanderer. Everyone deceives his neighbor and does not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They wear themselves out committing sin. You live in the middle of deceit. Through deceit they refuse to know me, says Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will refine them and assay them. What else can I do, because of the daughter of my people?

I speak with him face to face. I speak plainly and not in riddles. He even sees the form of Jehovah. Why were you not afraid to criticize my servant Moses?'

Jehovah called Samuel. He answered: Here am I. He ran to Eli and said: Here I am. You called me? I did not call you, Eli replied. Go back to bed. So Samuel went back to bed. Jehovah called Samuel again. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said: Here I am. You called me. Eli responded: I did not call you, son. Go back to bed. read more.
Samuel had no experience with Jehovah, because the word of Jehovah had not yet been revealed to him. Jehovah called Samuel a third time. Samuel got up, went to Eli, and said: Here I am. You called me! Eli realized (discerned) that Jehovah was calling the boy. Go, lie down, Eli told Samuel. When he calls you, say: Speak Jehovah I am listening. So Samuel went back to bed in his room. Jehovah came and stood there. He called as he had called the other times: Samuel! Samuel! Samuel replied: Speak! Your servant is listening. Jehovah said to Samuel: I will do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears it tingle. On that day I am going to do to Eli and his family everything I said from beginning to end. I told him I would hand down a long lasting judgment against his household because he knew about his sons' sin. They were cursing God but he did not restrain them. I have taken an oath concerning Eli's family line. No offering or sacrifice will ever be able to make peace for the sins that Eli's family committed.

Let me sing to my loved one a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

Then Moses came, along with Joshua son of Nun, and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.

Take him ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey. Ask him what is going to happen to our son. He will tell you.

Saul said: How can we talk to the prophet when I do not have anything to give him? We do not even have any food left in our sacks. What can we give him? I have a small piece of silver, the servant answered. We can give him that. Then he will tell us where to look for the donkeys.

Moses said to the fathers, 'Jehovah will raise up for your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to all the things he speaks to you.' (Deuteronomy 18:18)

Jehovah your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your fellow Israelites. Listen to him!

Jesus went to Jerusalem. The disciples followed him. They were amazed at what Jesus did. Others followed and were afraid. He met with the twelve to tell them the things that were to happen to him. When we go to Jerusalem the Son of man will be turned over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death and hand him over to the people of the nations. They will mock him, spit on him, and scourge him. Then they will kill him. After three days he will rise again.

Jehovah of Hosts proclaims: The day is coming when all arrogant and evil people will burn like stubble. On that day they will burn up and there will be nothing left of them, either root or bough.

The vision of Obadiah. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah (YHWH) spoke concerning Edom: We have heard news from Jehovah. An ambassador is sent to the nations, saying, we must stand up against her (Edom) in battle.

He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah. This was what Jehovah said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gathhepher.

Woe to the bloody city! It is full of lies and robbery! The prey does not leave.

Return, O Israel, to Jehovah your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.

When you see the disgusting abomination of desolation (unclean thing) spoken about through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that reads understand),

From the time that the continual burnt offering will be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there will be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

Balaam answered: I must say what Jehovah tells me to say.

Jehovah told Balaam: Go back to Balak and give him my message.

When Jezebel massacred the prophets of Jehovah, Obadiah took a hundred of them, and hid them secretly in a hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water.

After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed. When you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them. They will be acting like prophets:

After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed. When you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them. They will be acting like prophets:

Now bring me a musician. As the musician played his harp, the power of Jehovah came on Elisha.

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these, saying: Behold, Jehovah came with many thousands of his holy ones.

When Enoch lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah. After he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Enoch lived three hundred and sixty-five years. read more.
Enoch walked with God. Then he was no more, because God took (moved) him away.

Son of man, do not be afraid of them or the things they say. Do not be afraid, even though thorns and thistles are around you and you live among scorpions. Do not let the things they say frighten you. Do not be terrified in their presence even though they are rebellious people.

Yet, I will make you as stubborn and as hardheaded as they are. I will make you as hard as a diamond, harder than flint stone. Do not be afraid of them. Do not be terrified in their presence, even though they are rebellious people.

The rest of the acts of Solomon from first to last are written in the records of Nathan the prophet, in the prophecy of Ahijah from Shiloh, and in Iddo the seer's visions about Jeroboam son of Nebat.

The events concerning Rehoboam from first to last are written in the records of the prophet Shemaiah and the records of the seer Iddo in the genealogies? There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam as long as they lived.

The history of King David from beginning to end is recorded in the records of the three prophets, Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.

So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And in the morning I did as I was commanded.

The widow of a member of a group of prophets said to Elisha: My husband has died! As you know, he was a man who respected God. A man to whom he owed money came to take away my two sons as slaves in payment for my husband's debt.

Take a scroll, and write on it everything that I have dictated to you about Israel, Judah, and all the other nations from the time I spoke to you during the reign of Josiah until today.

Jehovah said to me: Take a large writing tablet, and write on it with a pen: Maher Shalal Hash Baz (The Looting Will Come Quickly; the Prey Will Be Easy).

Long ago on many occasions and in many ways God spoke to our fathers through the prophets.

I spoke to the prophets and gave them many visions. I taught lessons through the prophets.

The word of Jehovah (YHWH) came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet. It was in the eighth month, in the second year of Darius the king:

The prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

He said: Listen to my words: 'When there are prophets of Jehovah among you, I make myself known to them in visions or speak to them in dreams.

In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions! (Ac 2:17; Isa 44:3)

His father Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying,

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man! Men spoke from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

One of them was named Agabus. He indicated through the Spirit that a great famine was about to come on the entire earth. He said it would come to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

As we stayed there several days, a prophet came from Judea, named Agabus.

The words of Amos concerning Israel. He was among the herdsmen of Tekoa in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel. It was two years before the earthquake.

Amos told Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son. I was a herdsman, and a grower of sycamore figs. Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me: 'Go prophesy to my people Israel.'

So Ahab called in the prophets, about four hundred of them, and asked them: Should I attack Ramoth, or not? They answered: Attack, Jehovah will give you victory. Jehoshaphat asked: Is there another prophet through whom we can consult Jehovah? Ahab answered: There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, always something bad. The king should not say such things! Jehoshaphat replied. read more.
Then Ahab called a court official and told him to get Micaiah at once. They dressed in their royal robes and sat on their thrones at the threshing place near the gate of Samaria. The two kings listened to all the prophets prophesy in front of them. One of them, Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, made iron horns and said to Ahab: Jehovah says: 'With these you will fight the Syrians and totally defeat them.' All the other prophets said the same thing: March against Ramoth and you will win, they said. Jehovah will give you victory.

Ahab called in about four hundred prophets. He asked them: Should I go and attack Ramoth, or not? Attack it, they answered. God will give you victory.

After the public reading of the law and the prophets the synagogue officials sent to them, saying: You men and brothers if you have a message of encouragement for the people speak.

He was given the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened the book and found the place where it was written:

The word of Jehovah (YHWH) that came to Joel the son of Pethuel:

This is what the prophet Joel spoke about:

I did not send these prophets. Yet, they prophesy in my name that there will be no wars or famines in this land. So this is what I, Jehovah, say about them: 'Wars and famines will bring an end to these prophets.

Any prophet who dares to say something in my name that I did not command him to say or who speaks in the name of other gods must die.

The history of Abijah, including how he lived, is written by the prophet Iddo.

The following musicians of the Levite clan of Asaph were in the places assigned to them by King David's instructions: Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the king's prophet. The guards at the Temple gates did not need to leave their posts, because the other Levites prepared the Passover for them.

God's Spirit spoke to Zechariah son of Jehoiada the priest. Zechariah told everyone that God was saying: Why are you disobeying me and my Laws? This will only bring punishment! You have deserted me, so now I will desert you.

They mocked God's messengers. They despised his words, and made fun of his prophets until Jehovah became angry with his people. He could no longer heal them.

But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying: 'Do Not Prophesy!'

Shemaiah the prophet approached Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them: Jehovah says: 'You have forsaken me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.'

Since that time no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face (intimately),

A prophet of Jehovah named Oded was there. He went to meet the army coming home to Samaria. He said: Jehovah the God of your ancestors handed Judah over to you in his anger. You killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

Then the prophet Hanani went to King Asa. He said: Because you relied on the king of Syria instead of relying on Jehovah your God, the army of the king of Israel has escaped from you.

A prophet of Jehovah named Oded was there. He went to meet the army coming home to Samaria. He said: Jehovah the God of your ancestors handed Judah over to you in his anger. You killed them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.

I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you. I will put my words in his mouth. He will speak to them all that I command him.

Any prophet who dares to say something in my name that I did not command him to say or who speaks in the name of other gods must die.

What more shall I say? For the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, who through faith subdued kingdoms, affected righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, and turned to flight foreign armies. read more.
Women received their dead by a resurrection, and others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection: And others had trial of cruel mocking and scourging and bonds and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawed in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented. The world was not worthy of them! They wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, did not receive the promise. God provided something better for us that they might not be made perfect without us.

He (Noah) said: Canaan is cursed! He will be a lowly slave to his brothers. He also said: Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend the territory of Japheth. And may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the people of Israel. Listen to what I say, and warn them for me. When I tell a wicked man that he will surely die, but you do not warn him or speak out so that he can change his wicked way in order to save his life; that wicked man will die because of his sin. I will hold you responsible for his death. When you warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wicked way; he will die because of his sin, but you will save yourself. read more.
If righteous people turn from living the right way and do wrong, I will make them stumble and they will die. If you do not warn them, they will die because of their sin. The right things they did will not be remembered. I will hold you responsible for their deaths. If you warn righteous people not to sin, and they do not sin, they will certainly live because they listened to the warning and you will save yourself.

Naaman returned to Elisha with all his men and said: Now I realize there is no god but the God of Israel. Please accept a gift from me. Elisha the prophet answered: By the living God Jehovah whom I serve, I swear that I will not accept a gift. Naaman insisted that he accept it, but he would not.

Hananiah died in the seventh month of that same year.

Jehoshaphat asked: Is there another prophet through whom we can consult Jehovah? Ahab answered: There is one more, Micaiah son of Imlah. But I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, always something bad. The king should not say such things! Jehoshaphat replied.

He also said to Zadok: You are a seer, are you? Take your son Ahimaaz and Abiathar's son Jonathan and go back to the city in peace.

THE REVELATION GOD GAVE TO JESUS CHRIST, so that he could tell his servants the things that must soon take place. Christ then sent his angel to communicate the symbolic message to his servant John.

I have sent all my servants the prophets to you again and again. They said: Turn from your evil ways, do what is right, and do not follow other gods in order to serve them. Then you will live in the land that I gave you and your ancestors. However, you refused to listen to me or obey me.

The word of Jehovah (YHWH) came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet. It was in the eighth month, in the second year of Darius the king:

When Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road. Ahijah was wearing a new robe. They were by themselves in the open country.

In his days Hiel rebuilt Jericho. He laid its foundation at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub. This was according to the word of Jehovah spoken through Joshua, the son of Nun.
