He is astonished to see that there is no one to help the oppressed. So he will use his own power to rescue them and to win the victory.

It will be your fate to die a violent death, because you did not answer when I called you or listen when I spoke. You chose to disobey me and do evil.

So I will bring disaster upon them---the very things they are afraid of---because no one answered when I called or listened when I spoke. They chose to disobey me and do evil."

I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.

People of Jerusalem, run through your streets! Look around! See for yourselves! Search the marketplaces! Can you find one person who does what is right and tries to be faithful to God? If you can, the LORD will forgive Jerusalem.

You have committed all these sins, and even though I spoke to you over and over again, you refused to listen. You would not answer when I called you.

I listened carefully, but you did not speak the truth. Not one of you has been sorry for your wickedness; not one of you has asked, 'What have I done wrong?' Each of you keep on going your own way, like a horse rushing into battle.

I have continued to send you all my servants the prophets, and they have told you to give up your evil ways and to do what is right. They warned you not to worship and serve other gods, so that you could go on living in the land that I gave you and your ancestors. But you would not listen to me or pay any attention to me.

But the more I called to him, the more he turned away from me. My people sacrificed to Baal; they burned incense to idols.

They insist on turning away from me. They will cry out because of the yoke that is on them, but no one will lift it from them.

He came to his own country, but his own people did not receive him.

This is how the judgment works: the light has come into the world, but people love the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds are evil.

Don't think that the LORD is too weak to save you or too deaf to hear your call for help!

Is anything too hard for the LORD? As I said, nine months from now I will return, and Sarah will have a son."

"Is there a limit to my power?" the LORD answered. "You will soon see whether what I have said will happen or not!"

When did any of the gods of all these countries ever save their country from our emperor? Then what makes you think the LORD can save Jerusalem?"

Now don't let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like that. Don't believe him! No god of any nation has ever been able to save his people from any Assyrian emperor. So certainly this god of yours can't save you!"

Now then, as soon as you hear the sound of the trumpets, oboes, lyres, zithers, harps, and all the other instruments, bow down and worship the statue. If you do not, you will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. Do you think there is any god who can save you?"

"And now I command that if anyone of any nation, race, or language speaks disrespectfully of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he is to be torn limb from limb, and his house is to be made a pile of ruins. There is no other god who can rescue like this."

When he got there, he called out anxiously, "Daniel, servant of the living God! Was the God you serve so loyally able to save you from the lions?"

He saves and rescues; he performs wonders and miracles in heaven and on earth. He saved Daniel from being killed by the lions."

He gave a command to the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led his people across on dry land.

He commands the sea, and it dries up! He makes the rivers go dry. The fields of Bashan wither, Mount Carmel turns brown, and the flowers of Lebanon fade.

Jesus stood up and commanded the wind, "Be quiet!" and he said to the waves, "Be still!" The wind died down, and there was a great calm.

I will destroy the hills and mountains and dry up the grass and trees. I will turn the river valleys into deserts and dry up the pools of water.

Long ago the LORD made a road through the sea, a path through the swirling waters.

It was you also who dried up the sea and made a path through the water, so that those you were saving could cross.

(SEE 63:12)

Moses held out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind. It blew all night and turned the sea into dry land. The water was divided,

But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.

the water stopped flowing and piled up, far upstream at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. The flow downstream to the Dead Sea was completely cut off, and the people were able to cross over near Jericho.

The LORD made rivers dry up completely and stopped springs from flowing.

The Red Sea looked and ran away; the Jordan River stopped flowing.

What happened, Sea, to make you run away? And you, O Jordan, why did you stop flowing?

Tremble, earth, at the Lord's coming, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

The fish will die, and the river will stink so much that the Egyptians will not be able to drink from it.' "

The fish in the river died, and it smelled so bad that the Egyptians could not drink from it. There was blood everywhere in Egypt.
