A city is exalted by the blessing of the upright, but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.

Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, you scornful men who rule this people in Jerusalem.

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

And your covenant with death shall be covered over, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trampled down by it.

For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the cover is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

So then do not be mockers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that an annihilation is decreed upon the whole earth.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, I am the Son of God.

Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, Are we blind also?

Jesus said to them, If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, We see. Therefore your sin remains.

Then the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council and said, What shall we do? For this Man performs many signs.

And one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing at all,

who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have driven us out; and they do not please God and are contrary to all men,

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, so as always to fill up the measure of their sins; but wrath has come upon them to the end.

Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. Behold, how large a forest a little fire kindles.

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. Thus the tongue is set among our members, defiling the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by Gehenna.

Now therefore, let Me alone, that My wrath may burn against them, that I may consume them. And I will make of you a great nation.

Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn away from Your burning wrath, and have compassion regarding this evil to Your people.

And Jehovah was moved to compassion from the evil which He had spoken to do unto His people.

And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was restrained.

Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousy.

And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you had sinned in doing evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger.

And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

And when the Angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, Jehovah was moved to compassion regarding the evil, and said to the Angel who was destroying the people, Enough! Now restrain your hand. And the Angel of Jehovah was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

Then David spoke to Jehovah when he saw the Angel who was striking the people, and said, Surely I have sinned, and I have committed iniquity; but these sheep, what have they done? Let Your hand, I pray, be against me and against my father's house.

Then Jehovah said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My soul could not be inclined toward this people. Send them out of My sight, and let them go out.

So I sought for a man among them who would close up the wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

And so it was that when they had made an end of eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, Lord Jehovah, I pray, forgive. How can Jacob rise up? For he is small.

The Lord Jehovah showed me this: And, behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and devoured part of it.

Jehovah was moved to compassion concerning this: It shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he may have committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

Elijah was a man with feelings like ours, and he prayed to God that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
