354 : Basic English : Jonah 2,3,4; Micah 1; Book of Revelation 4,5 1. Then Jonah made prayer to the Lord his God from the inside of the fish, and said, 2. In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice. 3. For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me. 4. And I said, I have been sent away from before your eyes; how may I ever again see your holy Temple? 5. The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head. ; AB church Lausanne

353 : Basic English : Obadiah 1; Jonah 1; Book of Revelation 3 1. The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Lord has said about Edom: We have had word from the Lord, and a representative has been sent among the nations, saying, Up! and let us make war against her. 2. See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on. 3. You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth? 4. Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord. 5. If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all? ; AB church Lausanne

352 : Basic English : Amos 7,8,9; Book of Revelation 2 1. This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done. 2. And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small. 3. The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be. 4. This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage. 5. Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small. ; AB church Lausanne

351 : Basic English : Amos 5,6; Book of Revelation 1 1. Give ear to this word, my song of sorrow over you, O children of Israel. 2. The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again. 3. For these are the words of the Lord God: The town which was able to send out a thousand, will have only a hundred; and that which sent out a hundred, will have only ten, in Israel. 4. For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life: 5. Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing. ; AB church Lausanne

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
