350 : Basic English : Amos 2,3,4; Jude 1 1. These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust. 2. And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn: 3. And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord. 4. These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way. 5. And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem. ; AB church Lausanne

349 : Basic English : Joel 3; Amos 1; 2 John 1; 3 John 1 1. For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed, 2. I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them. 3. And they have put the fate of my people to the decision of chance: giving a boy for the price of a loose woman and a girl for a drink of wine. 4. And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head, 5. For you have taken my silver and my gold, putting in the houses of your gods my beautiful and pleasing things. ; AB church Lausanne

348 : Basic English : Joel 1,2; 1 John 5 1. The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel. 2. Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers? 3. Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation. 4. What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly. 5. Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths. ; AB church Lausanne

347 : Basic English : Hosea 12,13,14; 1 John 4 1. Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt. 2. The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts. 3. In the body of his mother he took his brother by the foot, and in his strength he was fighting with God; 4. He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him; 5. Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name. ; AB church Lausanne

346 : Basic English : Hosea 9,10,11; 1 John 3 1. Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor. 2. The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them. 3. They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria. 4. They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord. 5. What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord? ; AB church Lausanne
