When things are going well for you, be glad, and when trouble comes, just remember: God sends both happiness and trouble; you never know what is going to happen next.

He realizes what he is doing and stops sinning, so he will certainly not die, but go on living.

Don't you see what is happening to you?

At last he came to his senses and said, 'All my father's hired workers have more than they can eat, and here I am about to starve!

Death is the destiny of all the wicked, of all those who reject God.

Does a young woman forget her jewelry, or a bride her wedding dress? But my people have forgotten me for more days than can be counted.

I will attack the people of Israel and Judah like a lion. I myself will tear them to pieces and then leave them. When I drag them off, no one will be able to save them.

or else like a lion they will carry me off where no one can save me, and there they will tear me to pieces.

They look for help, but no one saves them; they call to the LORD, but he does not answer.

Not even fast runners will escape; strong men will lose their strength, and soldiers will not be able to save their own lives.
