Bible -- Juvenile literature

5 By threats warns princes, people, priests.
 6     Exhorts them to repent;
 7   Sins many and great he doth relate,
 8     And judgments to be sent.

 9 Captivity is now denounc'd,
10     For all their sins thereat.
11   For their most rude ingratitude.
12     Hypocrisy so great.

13 Destroy'd is Israel by himself.
     His help in God doth lie.
14   Who will relent, if they repent
     Of their Idolatry.



_JOEL_

 1 Joel describes a dismal dearth,
 2     Prescribes a solemn fast;
 3   Denounces woes 'gainst Zion's foes.
       Pronounces blessings last.



_AMOS_

 1 Amos three sins and four reproves.
 2     God threatens many a coast.
 3   Chiefly his own, to him best known,
 4     He swears to punish most.

 5 Bids them repent, does them lament.
 6     Their wantonness abhorr'd.
 7   Amos prays twice for Jacob's rise,
 8     A famine of the word,
 9     And David's tent restor'd.



_OBEDIAH_

 1 Good Obadiah, Edom's pride,
       And spite to Israel:
     What recompence for their offence,
       Shall them befal, doth tell.



_JONAH_

 1 Jonah is swallowed by a fish,
 2     And then cast up again;
 3   Cries Nineveh destroy'd shall be.
 4     Doth for his gourd complain.



_MICAH_

 1 Anger for Idols Micah tells.
 2     For all those who oppress.
 3   Priests, prophets, prince, use violence.
 4     The church shall peace possess.

 5 Beth'lem Christ's birth-place is foretold.
 6     With Israel God contends.
 7   That good men fail the church doth wail.
       Herself to God commends.



_NAHUM_

 1 Nahum God's grace and wrath describes.
 2     His army in array.
 3   The chariots dance, and horses prance.
       Laid waste is Nineveh.



_HABAKKUK_

 1 Habakkuk tells Chaldean's rage.
 2     By faith he sees their fall.
 3   To God he pray'd was much dismay'd.
       Yet trusts in him for all.



_ZEPHANIAH_

 1 Sin ruins all things, Zephany cries.
 2     Five lands are singled out;
 3   Jerusalem must smart like them,
       Yet at the last shall shout.



_HAGGAI_

 1 Haggai reproves the Jews' neglect,
       Inciteth them to build.
 2   This temple shall, tho' 'tis but small,
       With glory great be fill'd.



_ZECHERIAH_

 1 A view of horses Zachary hath.
 2     A measuring line he sees.
 3   Satan resists Joshua the priest.
 4     Seven laps, two olive-trees.

 5 Both sides a roll are curses writ,
 6     Chariots and crowns for Priests.
 7   The captives ask concerning fasts.
 8     Fasts shall be turn'd to feasts.

 9 Christ's riding on an ass foretels.
10     Bids ask the Lord for rain;
11   Tells at what price Jews valu'd Christ.
12     Jerus'lem built again.

13 David shall have a fountain ope,
       All filth to wash away.
14   On horses bells, and all vessels,
       Shall HOLINESS display.



_MALACHI_

 1 Of sins doth Malachi complain,
 2     Contempt of clergy shows.
 3   Before Messias shall come Elias,
 4     Repentance to propose.
