TSK · Hosea 6:3

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:

And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain.

Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, [which] is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.

¶ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

And I will give them an heart to know me, that I [am] the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting.

¶ Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; [so] the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.

He answered and said unto them, ‹Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.›

‹If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or› [whether] ‹I speak of myself.›

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

‹I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,› [and] ‹the bright and morning star.›
