Do they terrify you?
Is that why you have lied to me
and forgotten me and my words?
Is it because of my long silence
that you no longer fear me?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 58:2 - Yet they act so pious!
They come to the Temple every day

pretending they want to be near me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 61:1 - The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me,

by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens.
They burn incense on pagan altars.

and for those of their ancestors,”

and insulted me on the hills.
I will pay them back in full!

Yes, they worship idols made with their own hands!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:8 - The priests did not ask,

wasting their time on worthless idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:27 - To an image carved from a piece of wood they say,
‘You are my father.'
To an idol chiseled from a block of stone they say,
‘You are my mother.'
They turn their backs on me,

‘Come and save us!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:29 - Why do you accuse me of doing wrong?
You are the ones who have rebelled,”
says the LORD.

‘Father, you have been my guide since my youth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 3:6 - During the reign of King Josiah, the LORD said to me, “Have you seen what fickle Israel has done? Like a wife who commits adultery, Israel has worshiped other gods on every hill and under every green tree.

‘I would love to treat you as my own children!'

“if you wanted to return to me, you could.
You could throw away your detestable idols
and stray away no more.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:7 - “How can I pardon you?
For even your children have turned from me.
They have sworn by gods that are not gods at all!
I fed my people until they were full.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 6:27 - “Jeremiah, I have made you a tester of metals,[fn]
that you may determine the quality of my people.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:18 - No wonder I am so angry! Watch how the children gather wood and the fathers build sacrificial fires. See how the women knead dough and make cakes to offer to the Queen of Heaven. And they pour out liquid offerings to their other idol gods!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:19 - Listen to the weeping of my people;
it can be heard all across the land.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:14 - Then the LORD said, “These prophets are telling lies in my name. I did not send them or tell them to speak. I did not give them any messages.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:1 - Then the LORD said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I wouldn't help them. Away with them! Get them out of my sight!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:6 - You have abandoned me
and turned your back on me,”
says the LORD.
“Therefore, I will raise my fist to destroy you.
I am tired of always giving you another chance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:10 - Then I said,
“What sorrow is mine, my mother.
Oh, that I had died at birth!
I am hated everywhere I go.
I am neither a lender who threatens to foreclose
nor a borrower who refuses to pay—
yet they all curse me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:15 - Then I said,
“LORD, you know what's happening to me.
Please step in and help me. Punish my persecutors!
Please give me time; don't let me die young.
It's for your sake that I am suffering.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:18 - Why then does my suffering continue?
Why is my wound so incurable?
Your help seems as uncertain as a seasonal brook,
like a spring that has gone dry.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 16:11 - “Then you will give them the LORD's reply: ‘It is because your ancestors were unfaithful to me. They worshiped other gods and served them. They abandoned me and did not obey my word.

if you save me, I will be truly saved.
My praises are for you alone!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:15 - People scoff at me and say,
“What is this ‘message from the LORD' you talk about?
Why don't your predictions come true?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:18 - Bring shame and dismay on all who persecute me,
but don't let me experience shame and dismay.
Bring a day of terror on them.
Yes, bring double destruction upon them!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:5 - Then the LORD gave me this message:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 19:1 - This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and buy a clay jar. Then ask some of the leaders of the people and of the priests to follow you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 19:4 - “‘For Israel has forsaken me and turned this valley into a place of wickedness. The people burn incense to foreign gods—idols never before acknowledged by this generation, by their ancestors, or by the kings of Judah. And they have filled this place with the blood of innocent children.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 20:7 - O LORD, you misled me,
and I allowed myself to be misled.
You are stronger than I am,
and you overpowered me.
Now I am mocked every day;
everyone laughs at me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 20:14 - Yet I curse the day I was born!
May no one celebrate the day of my birth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 20:17 - because he did not kill me at birth.
Oh, that I had died in my mother's womb,
that her body had been my grave!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 24:3 - Then the LORD said to me, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”
I replied, “Figs, some very good and some very bad, too rotten to eat.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 24:4 - Then the LORD gave me this message:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 25:6 - Do not provoke my anger by worshiping idols you made with your own hands. Then I will not harm you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 25:17 - So I took the cup of anger from the LORD and made all the nations drink from it—every nation to which the LORD sent me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 26:12 - Then Jeremiah spoke to the officials and the people in his own defense. “The LORD sent me to prophesy against this Temple and this city,” he said. “The LORD gave me every word that I have spoken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 26:15 - But if you kill me, rest assured that you will be killing an innocent man! The responsibility for such a deed will lie on you, on this city, and on every person living in it. For it is absolutely true that the LORD sent me to speak every word you have heard.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 29:12 - In those days when you pray, I will listen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 29:13 - If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 30:21 - They will have their own ruler again,
and he will come from their own people.
I will invite him to approach me,” says the LORD,
“for who would dare to come unless invited?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 31:18 - I have heard Israel[fn] saying,
‘You disciplined me severely,
like a calf that needs training for the yoke.
Turn me again to you and restore me,
for you alone are the LORD my God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 31:19 - I turned away from God,
but then I was sorry.
I kicked myself for my stupidity!
I was thoroughly ashamed of all I did in my younger days.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 31:34 - And they will not need to teach their neighbors, nor will they need to teach their relatives, saying, ‘You should know the LORD.' For everyone, from the least to the greatest, will know me already,” says the LORD. “And I will forgive their wickedness, and I will never again remember their sins.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:8 - Then, just as the LORD had said he would, my cousin Hanamel came and visited me in the prison. He said, “Please buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else, so buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that the message I had heard was from the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:16 - Then after I had given the papers to Baruch, I prayed to the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:25 - And yet, O Sovereign LORD, you have told me to buy the field—paying good money for it before these witnesses—even though the city will soon be handed over to the Babylonians.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:26 - Then this message came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:29 - The Babylonians outside the walls will come in and set fire to the city. They will burn down all these houses where the people provoked my anger by burning incense to Baal on the rooftops and by pouring out liquid offerings to other gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:32 - “The sins of Israel and Judah—the sins of the people of Jerusalem, the kings, the officials, the priests, and the prophets—have stirred up my anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:33 - My people have turned their backs on me and have refused to return. Even though I diligently taught them, they would not receive instruction or obey.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 32:39 - And I will give them one heart and one purpose: to worship me forever, for their own good and for the good of all their descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 33:3 - Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 35:12 - Then the LORD gave this message to Jeremiah:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 36:1 - During the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was king in Judah,[fn] the LORD gave this message to Jeremiah:
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 37:7 - “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: The king of Judah sent you to ask me what is going to happen. Tell him, ‘Pharaoh's army is about to return to Egypt, though he came here to help you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 37:18 - Then Jeremiah asked the king, “What crime have I committed? What have I done against you, your attendants, or the people that I should be imprisoned like this?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 37:20 - Listen, my lord the king, I beg you. Don't send me back to the dungeon in the house of Jonathan the secretary, for I will die there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 38:15 - Jeremiah said, “If I tell you the truth, you will kill me. And if I give you advice, you won't listen to me anyway.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 38:19 - “But I am afraid to surrender,” the king said, “for the Babylonians may hand me over to the Judeans who have defected to them. And who knows what they will do to me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 38:26 - If this happens, just tell them you begged me not to send you back to Jonathan's dungeon, for fear you would die there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 42:20 - For you were not being honest when you sent me to pray to the LORD your God for you. You said, ‘Just tell us what the LORD our God says, and we will do it!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 42:21 - And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey the LORD your God any better now than you have in the past.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 44:3 - They provoked my anger with all their wickedness. They burned incense and worshiped other gods—gods that neither they nor you nor any of your ancestors had ever even known.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 44:8 - Why provoke my anger by burning incense to the idols you have made here in Egypt? You will only destroy yourselves and make yourselves an object of cursing and mockery for all the nations of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 51:34 - “King Nebuchadnezzar[fn] of Babylon has eaten and crushed us
and drained us of strength.
He has swallowed us like a great monster
and filled his belly with our riches.
He has thrown us out of our own country.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:12 - “Does it mean nothing to you, all you who pass by?
Look around and see if there is any suffering like mine,
which the LORD brought on me
when he erupted in fierce anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:13 - “He has sent fire from heaven that burns in my bones.
He has placed a trap in my path and turned me back.
He has left me devastated,
racked with sickness all day long.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:16 - “For all these things I weep;
tears flow down my cheeks.
No one is here to comfort me;
any who might encourage me are far away.
My children have no future,
for the enemy has conquered us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:19 - “I begged my allies for help,
but they betrayed me.
My priests and leaders
starved to death in the city,
even as they searched for food
to save their lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:20 - “LORD, see my anguish!
My heart is broken
and my soul despairs,
for I have rebelled against you.
In the streets the sword kills,
and at home there is only death.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 1:21 - “Others heard my groans,
but no one turned to comfort me.
When my enemies heard about my troubles,
they were happy to see what you had done.
Oh, bring the day you promised,
when they will suffer as I have suffered.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:2 - He has led me into darkness,
shutting out all light.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:6 - He has buried me in a dark place,
like those long dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:11 - He has dragged me off the path and torn me in pieces,
leaving me helpless and devastated.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:12 - He has drawn his bow
and made me the target for his arrows.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:15 - He has filled me with bitterness
and given me a bitter cup of sorrow to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:16 - He has made me chew on gravel.
He has rolled me in the dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:45 - You have discarded us as refuse and garbage
among the nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:52 - My enemies, whom I have never harmed,
hunted me down like a bird.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:1 - “Stand up, son of man,” said the voice. “I want to speak with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:2 - The Spirit came into me as he spoke, and he set me on my feet. I listened carefully to his words.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:3 - “Son of man,” he said, “I am sending you to the nation of Israel, a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me. They and their ancestors have been rebelling against me to this very day.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:9 - Then I looked and saw a hand reaching out to me. It held a scroll,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:1 - The voice said to me, “Son of man, eat what I am giving you—eat this scroll! Then go and give its message to the people of Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:2 - So I opened my mouth, and he fed me the scroll.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:3 - “Fill your stomach with this,” he said. And when I ate it, it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:4 - Then he said, “Son of man, go to the people of Israel and give them my messages.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:10 - Then he added, “Son of man, let all my words sink deep into your own heart first. Listen to them carefully for yourself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:12 - Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a loud rumbling sound behind me. (May the glory of the LORD be praised in his place!)[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:14 - The Spirit lifted me up and took me away. I went in bitterness and turmoil, but the LORD's hold on me was strong.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:16 - After seven days the LORD gave me a message. He said,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:18 - If I warn the wicked, saying, ‘You are under the penalty of death,' but you fail to deliver the warning, they will die in their sins. And I will hold you responsible for their deaths.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:22 - Then the LORD took hold of me and said, “Get up and go out into the valley, and I will speak to you there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:24 - Then the Spirit came into me and set me on my feet. He spoke to me and said, “Go to your house and shut yourself in.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:27 - But when I give you a message, I will loosen your tongue and let you speak. Then you will say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says!' Those who choose to listen will listen, but those who refuse will refuse, for they are rebels.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:15 - “All right,” the LORD said. “You may bake your bread with cow dung instead of human dung.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:16 - Then he told me, “Son of man, I will make food very scarce in Jerusalem. It will be weighed out with great care and eaten fearfully. The water will be rationed out drop by drop, and the people will drink it with dismay.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 5:13 - Then at last my anger will be spent, and I will be satisfied. And when my fury against them has subsided, all Israel will know that I, the LORD, have spoken to them in my jealous anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 5:15 - You will become an object of mockery and taunting and horror. You will be a warning to all the nations around you. They will see what happens when the LORD punishes a nation in anger and rebukes it, says the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 5:16 - “I will shower you with the deadly arrows of famine to destroy you. The famine will become more and more severe until every crumb of food is gone.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 6:1 - Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 7:1 - Then this message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:3 - He reached out what seemed to be a hand and took me by the hair. Then the Spirit lifted me up into the sky and transported me to Jerusalem in a vision from God. I was taken to the north gate of the inner courtyard of the Temple, where there is a large idol that has made the LORD very jealous.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:5 - Then the LORD said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and there to the north, beside the entrance to the gate near the altar, stood the idol that had made the LORD so jealous.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:6 - “Son of man,” he said, “do you see what they are doing? Do you see the detestable sins the people of Israel are committing to drive me from my Temple? But come, and you will see even more detestable sins than these!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:7 - Then he brought me to the door of the Temple courtyard, where I could see a hole in the wall.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:8 - He said to me, “Now, son of man, dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and found a hidden doorway.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:9 - “Go in,” he said, “and see the wicked and detestable sins they are committing in there!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:12 - Then the LORD said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the leaders of Israel are doing with their idols in dark rooms? They are saying, ‘The LORD doesn't see us; he has deserted our land!'”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:13 - Then the LORD added, “Come, and I will show you even more detestable sins than these!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:14 - He brought me to the north gate of the LORD's Temple, and some women were sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:15 - “Have you seen this?” he asked. “But I will show you even more detestable sins than these!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:16 - Then he brought me into the inner courtyard of the LORD's Temple. At the entrance to the sanctuary, between the entry room and the bronze altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs to the sanctuary of the LORD. They were facing east, bowing low to the ground, worshiping the sun!
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:17 - “Have you seen this, son of man?” he asked. “Is it nothing to the people of Judah that they commit these detestable sins, leading the whole nation into violence, thumbing their noses at me, and provoking my anger?
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:9 - Then he said to me, “The sins of the people of Israel and Judah are very, very great. The entire land is full of murder; the city is filled with injustice. They are saying, ‘The LORD doesn't see it! The LORD has abandoned the land!'
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:1 - Then the Spirit lifted me and brought me to the east gateway of the LORD's Temple, where I saw twenty-five prominent men of the city. Among them were Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders among the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:2 - The Spirit said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who are planning evil and giving wicked counsel in this city.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:5 - Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon me, and he told me to say, “This is what the LORD says to the people of Israel: I know what you are saying, for I know every thought that comes into your minds.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:13 - While I was still prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah suddenly died. Then I fell face down on the ground and cried out, “O Sovereign LORD, are you going to kill everyone in Israel?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:14 - Then this message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:24 - Afterward the Spirit of God carried me back again to Babylonia,[fn] to the people in exile there. And so ended the vision of my visit to Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:1 - Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:8 - The next morning this message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:15 - And when I scatter them among the nations, they will know that I am the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:17 - Then this message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:21 - Again a message came to me from the LORD:
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 12:26 - Then this message came to me from the LORD:

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 46:20 - He explained, “This is where the priests will cook the meat from the guilt offerings and sin offerings and bake the flour from the grain offerings into bread. They will do it here to avoid carrying the sacrifices through the outer courtyard and endangering the people by transmitting holiness to them.”

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 10:19 - “Don't be afraid,” he said, “for you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!”
