Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:4 - I love them, but they try to destroy me with accusations
even as I am praying for them!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:25 - I am a joke to people everywhere;
when they see me, they shake their heads in scorn.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:10 - I believed in you, so I said,
“I am deeply troubled, LORD.”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:11 - In my anxiety I cried out to you,
“These people are all liars!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 116:16 - O LORD, I am your servant;
yes, I am your servant, born into your household;
you have freed me from my chains.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:67 - I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
but now I closely follow your word.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:69 - Arrogant people smear me with lies,
but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:70 - Their hearts are dull and stupid,
but I delight in your instructions.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:78 - Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me;
meanwhile, I will concentrate on your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:87 - They almost finished me off,
but I refused to abandon your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:141 - I am insignificant and despised,
but I don't forget your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:162 - I rejoice in your word
like one who discovers a great treasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:5 - I know the greatness of the LORD
that our Lord is greater than any other god.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 141:10 - Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
but let me escape.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:7 - Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:28 - “When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:12 - “I, Wisdom, live together with good judgment.
I know where to discover knowledge and discernment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:13 - All who fear the LORD will hate evil.
Therefore, I hate pride and arrogance,
corruption and perverse speech.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:17 - “I love all who love me.
Those who search will surely find me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:30 - I was the architect at his side.
I was his constant delight,
rejoicing always in his presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:35 - And you will say, “They hit me, but I didn't feel it.
I didn't even know it when they beat me up.
When will I wake up
so I can look for another drink?”
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:32 - Then, as I looked and thought about it,
I learned this lesson:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:12 - I, the Teacher, was king of Israel, and I lived in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:16 - I said to myself, “Look, I am wiser than any of the kings who ruled in Jerusalem before me. I have greater wisdom and knowledge than any of them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:1 - I said to myself, “Come on, let's try pleasure. Let's look for the ‘good things' in life.” But I found that this, too, was meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless—like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:12 - So I decided to compare wisdom with foolishness and madness (for who can do this better than I, the king?[fn]).
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:13 - I thought, “Wisdom is better than foolishness, just as light is better than darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - For the wise can see where they are going, but fools walk in the dark.” Yet I saw that the wise and the foolish share the same fate.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - Both will die. So I said to myself, “Since I will end up the same as the fool, what's the value of all my wisdom? This is all so meaningless!”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:18 - I came to hate all my hard work here on earth, for I must leave to others everything I have earned.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:20 - So I gave up in despair, questioning the value of all my hard work in this world.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - So I decided there is nothing better than to enjoy food and drink and to find satisfaction in work. Then I realized that these pleasures are from the hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said to myself, “In due season God will judge everyone, both good and bad, for all their deeds.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I also thought about the human condition—how God proves to people that they are like animals.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:1 - Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:2 - So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:4 - Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless—like chasing the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:7 - I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:8 - This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself, “Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?” It is all so meaningless and depressing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:26 - I discovered that a seductive woman[fn] is a trap more bitter than death. Her passion is a snare, and her soft hands are chains. Those who are pleasing to God will escape her, but sinners will be caught in her snare.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:12 - But even though a person sins a hundred times and still lives a long time, I know that those who fear God will be better off.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:1 - Young Woman
I am the spring crocus blooming on the Sharon Plain,[fn]
the lily of the valley.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:2 - Young Woman
I slept, but my heart was awake,
when I heard my lover knocking and calling:
“Open to me, my treasure, my darling,
my dove, my perfect one.
My head is drenched with dew,
my hair with the dampness of the night.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:5 - I jumped up to open the door for my love,
and my hands dripped with perfume.
My fingers dripped with lovely myrrh
as I pulled back the bolt.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - I opened to my lover,
but he was gone!
My heart sank.
I searched for him
but could not find him anywhere.
I called to him,
but there was no reply.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:3 - I am my lover's, and my lover is mine.
He browses among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:10 - Young Woman
I am my lover's,
and he claims me as his own.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:10 - Young Woman
I was a virgin, like a wall;
now my breasts are like towers.
When my lover looks at me,
he is delighted with what he sees.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:5 - Then I said, “It's all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the LORD of Heaven's Armies.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:18 - I and the children the LORD has given me serve as signs and warnings to Israel from the LORD of Heaven's Armies who dwells in his Temple on Mount Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:6 - For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor,[fn] Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:24 - So this is what the Lord, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, says: “O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:3 - I, the LORD, have dedicated these soldiers for this task.
Yes, I have called mighty warriors to express my anger,
and they will rejoice when I am exalted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:3 - I, the LORD, will watch over it,
watering it carefully.
Day and night I will watch so no one can harm it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:16 - Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,[fn]
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:28 - Grain for bread is easily crushed,
so he doesn't keep on pounding it.
He threshes it under the wheels of a cart,
but he doesn't pulverize it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:14 - Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites
with amazing wonders.
The wisdom of the wise will pass away,
and the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:7 - Listen! I myself will move against him,[fn] and the king will receive a message that he is needed at home. So he will return to his land, where I will have him killed with a sword.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:24 - By your messengers you have defied the Lord.
You have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have conquered the highest mountains—
yes, the remotest peaks of Lebanon.
I have cut down its tallest cedars
and its finest cypress trees.
I have reached its farthest heights
and explored its deepest forests.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:26 - “But have you not heard?
I decided this long ago.
Long ago I planned it,
and now I am making it happen.
I planned for you to crush fortified cities
into heaps of rubble.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 37:28 - “But I know you well—
where you stay
and when you come and go.
I know the way you have raged against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 38:10 - I said, “In the prime of my life,
must I now enter the place of the dead?[fn]
Am I to be robbed of the rest of my years?”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:4 - Who has done such mighty deeds,
summoning each new generation from the beginning of time?
It is I, the LORD, the First and the Last.
I alone am he.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:10 - Don't be afraid, for I am with you.
Don't be discouraged, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you.
I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:13 - For I hold you by your right hand—
I, the LORD your God.
And I say to you,
‘Don't be afraid. I am here to help you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:14 - Though you are a lowly worm, O Jacob,
don't be afraid, people of Israel, for I will help you.
I am the LORD, your Redeemer.
I am the Holy One of Israel.'
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:17 - “When the poor and needy search for water and there is none,
and their tongues are parched from thirst,
then I, the LORD, will answer them.
I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 41:25 - “But I have stirred up a leader who will come from the north.
I have called him by name from the east.
I will give him victory over kings and princes.
He will trample them as a potter treads on clay.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:6 - “I, the LORD, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness.
I will take you by the hand and guard you,
and I will give you to my people, Israel,
as a symbol of my covenant with them.
And you will be a light to guide the nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:8 - “I am the LORD; that is my name!
I will not give my glory to anyone else,
nor share my praise with carved idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 42:9 - Everything I prophesied has come true,
and now I will prophesy again.
I will tell you the future before it happens.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 43:3 - For I am the LORD, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.
I gave Egypt as a ransom for your freedom;
I gave Ethiopia[fn] and Seba in your place.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 43:11 - I, yes I, am the LORD,
and there is no other Savior.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 43:15 - I am the LORD, your Holy One,
Israel's Creator and King.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 44:3 - For I will pour out water to quench your thirst
and to irrigate your parched fields.
And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants,
and my blessing on your children.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 44:6 - This is what the LORD says—Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD of Heaven's Armies:
“I am the First and the Last;
there is no other God.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 44:24 - This is what the LORD says—
your Redeemer and Creator:
“I am the LORD, who made all things.
I alone stretched out the heavens.
Who was with me
when I made the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:2 - This is what the LORD says:
“I will go before you, Cyrus,
and level the mountains.[fn]
I will smash down gates of bronze
and cut through bars of iron.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:3 - And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness—
secret riches.
I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD,
the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:4 - “And why have I called you for this work?
Why did I call you by name when you did not know me?
It is for the sake of Jacob my servant,
Israel my chosen one.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:5 - I am the LORD;
there is no other God.
I have equipped you for battle,
though you don't even know me,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:6 - so all the world from east to west
will know there is no other God.
I am the LORD, and there is no other.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:7 - I create the light and make the darkness.
I send good times and bad times.
I, the LORD, am the one who does these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:12 - I am the one who made the earth
and created people to live on it.
With my hands I stretched out the heavens.
All the stars are at my command.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:13 - I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose,
and I will guide his actions.
He will restore my city and free my captive people—
without seeking a reward!
I, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, have spoken!”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 45:21 - Consult together, argue your case.
Get together and decide what to say.
Who made these things known so long ago?
What idol ever told you they would happen?
Was it not I, the LORD?
For there is no other God but me,
a righteous God and Savior.
There is none but me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 46:4 - I will be your God throughout your lifetime—
until your hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will carry you along and save you.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 47:6 - For I was angry with my chosen people
and punished them by letting them fall into your hands.
But you, Babylon, showed them no mercy.
You oppressed even the elderly.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 48:4 - For I know how stubborn and obstinate you are.
Your necks are as unbending as iron.
Your heads are as hard as bronze.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 48:12 - “Listen to me, O family of Jacob,
Israel my chosen one!
I alone am God,
the First and the Last.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 48:15 - “I have said it: I am calling Cyrus!
I will send him on this errand and will help him succeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:4 - I replied, “But my work seems so useless!
I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose.
Yet I leave it all in the LORD's hand;
I will trust God for my reward.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:15 - “Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child?
Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?
But even if that were possible,
I would not forget you!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:21 - Then you will think to yourself,
‘Who has given me all these descendants?
For most of my children were killed,
and the rest were carried away into exile.
I was left here all alone.
Where did all these people come from?
Who bore these children?
Who raised them for me?'”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:23 - Kings and queens will serve you
and care for all your needs.
They will bow to the earth before you
and lick the dust from your feet.
Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Those who trust in me will never be put to shame.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:25 - But the LORD says,
“The captives of warriors will be released,
and the plunder of tyrants will be retrieved.
For I will fight those who fight you,
and I will save your children.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 49:26 - I will feed your enemies with their own flesh.
They will be drunk with rivers of their own blood.
All the world will know that I, the LORD,
am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 50:5 - The Sovereign LORD has spoken to me,
and I have listened.
I have not rebelled or turned away.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 51:15 - For I am the LORD your God,
who stirs up the sea, causing its waves to roar.
My name is the LORD of Heaven's Armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 54:11 - “O storm-battered city,
troubled and desolate!
I will rebuild you with precious jewels
and make your foundations from lapis lazuli.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 54:16 - “I have created the blacksmith
who fans the coals beneath the forge
and makes the weapons of destruction.
And I have created the armies that destroy.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 56:4 - For this is what the LORD says:
I will bless those eunuchs
who keep my Sabbath days holy
and who choose to do what pleases me
and commit their lives to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 57:16 - For I will not fight against you forever;
I will not always be angry.
If I were, all people would pass away—
all the souls I have made.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 58:6 - “No, this is the kind of fasting I want:
Free those who are wrongly imprisoned;
lighten the burden of those who work for you.
Let the oppressed go free,
and remove the chains that bind people.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 60:16 - Powerful kings and mighty nations
will satisfy your every need,
as though you were a child
nursing at the breast of a queen.
You will know at last that I, the LORD,
am your Savior and your Redeemer,
the Mighty One of Israel.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 60:22 - The smallest family will become a thousand people,
and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation.
At the right time, I, the LORD, will make it happen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 61:8 - “For I, the LORD, love justice.
I hate robbery and wrongdoing.
I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering
and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 63:1 - Who is this who comes from Edom,
from the city of Bozrah,
with his clothing stained red?
Who is this in royal robes,
marching in his great strength?
“It is I, the LORD, announcing your salvation!
It is I, the LORD, who has the power to save!”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:12 - now I will ‘destine' you for the sword.
All of you will bow down before the executioner.
For when I called, you did not answer.
When I spoke, you did not listen.
You deliberately sinned—before my very eyes—
and chose to do what you know I despise.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:18 - Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation!
And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness.
Her people will be a source of joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:24 - I will answer them before they even call to me.
While they are still talking about their needs,
I will go ahead and answer their prayers!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:9 - Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth
and then not deliver it?” asks the LORD.
“No! I would never keep this nation from being born,”
says your God.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:12 - This is what the LORD says:
“I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity.
The wealth of the nations will flow to her.
Her children will be nursed at her breasts,
carried in her arms, and held on her lap.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:13 - I will comfort you there in Jerusalem
as a mother comforts her child.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 66:22 - “As surely as my new heavens and earth will remain,
so will you always be my people,
with a name that will never disappear,”
says the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 1:12 - And the LORD said, “That's right, and it means that I am watching,[fn] and I will certainly carry out all my plans.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 1:15 - Listen! I am calling the armies of the kingdoms of the north to come to Jerusalem. I, the LORD, have spoken!
“They will set their thrones
at the gates of the city.
They will attack its walls
and all the other towns of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:21 - But I was the one who planted you,
choosing a vine of the purest stock—the very best.
How did you grow into this corrupt wild vine?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:35 - And yet you say,
‘I have done nothing wrong.
Surely God isn't angry with me!'
But now I will punish you severely
because you claim you have not sinned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 3:14 - “Return home, you wayward children,”
says the LORD,
“for I am your master.
I will bring you back to the land of Israel[fn]
one from this town and two from that family—
from wherever you are scattered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 3:19 - “I thought to myself,
‘I would love to treat you as my own children!'
I wanted nothing more than to give you this beautiful land—
the finest possession in the world.
I looked forward to your calling me ‘Father,'
and I wanted you never to turn from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 4:6 - Raise a signal flag as a warning for Jerusalem[fn]:
‘Flee now! Do not delay!'
For I am bringing terrible destruction upon you
from the north.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 4:12 - It is a roaring blast sent by me!
Now I will pronounce your destruction!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:4 - Then I said, “But what can we expect from the poor?
They are ignorant.
They don't know the ways of the LORD.
They don't understand God's laws.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:14 - Therefore, this is what the LORD God of Heaven's Armies says:
“Because the people are talking like this,
my messages will flame out of your mouth
and burn the people like kindling wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:15 - O Israel, I will bring a distant nation against you,”
says the LORD.
“It is a mighty nation,
an ancient nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you cannot understand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 6:19 - Listen, all the earth!
I will bring disaster on my people.
It is the fruit of their own schemes,
because they refuse to listen to me.
They have rejected my word.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 6:21 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says:
“I will put obstacles in my people's path.
Fathers and sons will both fall over them.
Neighbors and friends will die together.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:11 - Don't you yourselves admit that this Temple, which bears my name, has become a den of thieves? Surely I see all the evil going on there. I, the LORD, have spoken!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:17 - I will send these enemy troops among you
like poisonous snakes you cannot charm.
They will bite you, and you will die.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:7 - Therefore, this is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says:
“See, I will melt them down in a crucible
and test them like metal.
What else can I do with my people?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:15 - So now, this is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: Look! I will feed them with bitterness and give them poison to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 10:18 - For this is what the LORD says:
“Suddenly, I will fling out
all you who live in this land.
I will pour great troubles upon you,
and at last you will feel my anger.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:4 - For I said to your ancestors when I brought them out of the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt, “If you obey me and do whatever I command you, then you will be my people, and I will be your God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:11 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I am going to bring calamity upon them, and they will not escape. Though they beg for mercy, I will not listen to their cries.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:19 - I was like a lamb being led to the slaughter. I had no idea that they were planning to kill me! “Let's destroy this man and all his words,” they said. “Let's cut him down, so his name will be forgotten forever.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:22 - So this is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says about them: “I will punish them! Their young men will die in battle, and their boys and girls will starve to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:14 - Now this is what the LORD says: “I will uproot from their land all the evil nations reaching out for the possession I gave my people Israel. And I will uproot Judah from among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:13 - “Then tell them, ‘No, this is what the LORD means: I will fill everyone in this land with drunkenness—from the king sitting on David's throne to the priests and the prophets, right down to the common people of Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:12 - When they fast, I will pay no attention. When they present their burnt offerings and grain offerings to me, I will not accept them. Instead, I will devour them with war, famine, and disease.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:15 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I will punish these lying prophets, for they have spoken in my name even though I never sent them. They say that no war or famine will come, but they themselves will die by war and famine!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 16:9 - For this is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: In your own lifetime, before your very eyes, I will put an end to the happy singing and laughter in this land. The joyful voices of bridegrooms and brides will no longer be heard.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 16:16 - “But now I am sending for many fishermen who will catch them,” says the LORD. “I am sending for hunters who will hunt them down in the mountains, hills, and caves.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 16:21 - The LORD says,
“Now I will show them my power;
now I will show them my might.
At last they will know and understand
that I am the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:10 - But I, the LORD, search all hearts
and examine secret motives.
I give all people their due rewards,
according to what their actions deserve.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:16 - LORD, I have not abandoned my job
as a shepherd for your people.
I have not urged you to send disaster.
You have heard everything I've said.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:11 - “Therefore, Jeremiah, go and warn all Judah and Jerusalem. Say to them, ‘This is what the LORD says: I am planning disaster for you instead of good. So turn from your evil ways, each of you, and do what is right.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 19:3 - Say to them, ‘Listen to this message from the LORD, you kings of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem! This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: I will bring a terrible disaster on this place, and the ears of those who hear about it will ring!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 19:15 - “This is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will bring disaster upon this city and its surrounding towns as I promised, because you have stubbornly refused to listen to me.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 20:4 - For this is what the LORD says: ‘I will send terror upon you and all your friends, and you will watch as they are slaughtered by the swords of the enemy. I will hand the people of Judah over to the king of Babylon. He will take them captive to Babylon or run them through with the sword.
