23
The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it sprout, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in His anger and His wrath.
24
And all the nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus unto this land? What is the meaning of this great burning anger?
25
Then people shall say: Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which He had made with them to bring them out of the land of Egypt;

But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are gorged! And he forsook the God who had made him, and treated with contempt the Rock of his salvation.

20
And He said, I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
21
They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not the Mighty God; they have moved Me to anger by their vanities. So I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a people; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.
22
For a fire has been kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest Sheol; it shall consume the earth with her produce, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23
I will heap evil upon them; I will use up My arrows upon them.
24
They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of the serpents of the dust.
25
The sword from outside, and the terror from within, shall bereave the young man and virgin, the nursing child and the man of gray hairs.
26
I have said, I will dash them in pieces, I will bring to an end the memory of them from among men,
27
had I not feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, lest they should say, our hand is high; and Jehovah has not done all this.
28
For they are a nation void of counsel, nor is there any understanding in them.
29
Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30
How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Jehovah had delivered them up?
31
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.
33
Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of vipers.
34
Is this not laid up in store with Me, sealed up among My treasures?
35
Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared have made haste upon them.
36
For Jehovah will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone, and there is no one remaining, bond or free.
37
He will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they sought refuge?
38
Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, and be your refuge.
39
See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver out of My hand.
40
For I raise My hand to the heavens, and say, As I live forever,
41
if I whet My glittering sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies, and repay those who hate Me.
42
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the heads of the commanders of the enemy.
43
Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.

1 Samuel 2:27-32
27
And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Have I not revealed to show Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
28
Did I not choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to bear the ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel?
29
Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded for My dwelling place, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?
30
Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel says: I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now Jehovah says: Far be it from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.
31
Behold, the days are coming that I will cut off your arm and the arm of your father's house, so that there shall not be an old man in your house.
32
And you shall see an adversary in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God did for Israel. And there shall not be an old man in your house for all time.
1 Samuel 3:11-14
11
And Jehovah said to Samuel: Behold, I am doing something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.
12
In that day I shall carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.
13
For I have declared to him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he has known, because his sons are being despicable, and he has not restrained them.
14
And therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be atoned for by sacrifice or offering forever.
1 Kings 14:7-15
7
Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Because I have exalted you from among the people, and appointed you ruler over My people Israel,
8
and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes;
9
but you have done more evil than all who were before you, for you have gone and made for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and have cast Me behind your back;
10
therefore behold, I am bringing calamity upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him who urinates against a wall, both bond and free in Israel; I will consume the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away the dung for burning until it is all gone.
11
The dogs shall eat whoever of Jeroboam dies in the city, and the birds of the heavens shall eat whoever dies in the field; for Jehovah has spoken!
12
Arise therefore, go to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.
13
And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave; because out of the whole house of Jeroboam, only in him there is found something good toward Jehovah, the God of Israel.
14
Moreover Jehovah shall raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. What? Even straightaway!
15
For Jehovah shall strike Israel, as a reed flutters in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land which He has given to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their groves, provoking Jehovah to anger.
1 Kings 17:1
And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except according to my word.
1 Kings 21:18-24
18
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19
And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Have you murdered and also taken possession? And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah: In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs shall lick your blood, even yours.
20
So Ahab said to Elijah, Have you found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah:
21
Behold, I shall bring evil upon you. I shall take away your posterity, and shall cut off from Ahab in Israel everyone who urinates against a wall, both bond and free.
22
I have delivered up your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.
23
And concerning Jezebel Jehovah also spoke, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
24
The dogs shall eat whoever of Ahab dies in the city, and the birds of the heavens shall eat whoever dies in the field.
1 Kings 22:8
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so!
Isaiah 5:1-8
1
Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. My Beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.
2
And He fenced it, and cleared out its stones, and planted it with choice vines, and built a tower in its midst, and hewed out a winepress in it; and He looked for it to produce grapes, but it produced rotten grapes.
3
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, please judge between Me and My vineyard.
4
What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield rotten grapes?
5
And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard; I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down;
6
and I will lay it waste; it shall not be pruned nor dug; but briers and thorns shall come up. And I will command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7
For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!
8
Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until there is no more space for you to dwell alone in the midst of the earth!
Isaiah 6:9-12
9
And He said, Go, and tell this people, You listen to hear, but do not understand; you look to see, but do not perceive.
10
Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed.
11
Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities have been smashed to ruins without inhabitant, and the houses without a man, and the land is left devastated,
12
and until Jehovah has sent the men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.
Isaiah 13:18
Their bows shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children.
Isaiah 24:1-23
1
Behold, Jehovah empties the earth and makes it bare, and distorts its face, and scatters its inhabitants.
2
And as it is with the people, so it shall be with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the maid, so it is with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3
The land shall be completely emptied, and utterly plundered; for Jehovah has spoken this Word.
4
The earth mourns and fades away; the world droops and fades away; the haughty people of the earth grow feeble.
5
The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and have broken the perpetual covenant.
6
Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
7
The new wine mourns, the vine droops, all the merry-hearted sigh.
8
The mirth of the tambourines ceases; the tumult of the jubilant ends; the joy of the harp ceases.
9
They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10
The city of emptiness is broken down; every house is shut up so that no one may come in.
11
There is a cry for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land has gone.
12
Desolation is left in the city, and the gate is battered and destroyed.
13
For so it is in the midst of the land among the people. It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, and as gleanings of grapes when the vintage has been finished.
14
They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
15
Therefore glorify Jehovah in the light of the fire, the name of the Lord Jehovah of Israel from the seashores.
16
From the ends of the earth we have heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! Deceivers deceive, even with treachery. Deceivers deceive!
17
Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
18
And it shall be that he who flees from the sound of terror shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.
19
The earth has been badly broken! The earth is split open and cracked through! The earth has shaken greatly and is tottering!
20
Like a drunkard the earth is staggering back and forth! And it sways to and fro like a hut! Its transgressions have been heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again.
21
And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah will punish the host of the haughty ones on high; and on earth, the kings of the earth.
22
And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be visited.
23
Then the moon shall be abashed, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign on Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and before His elders, in splendor.
Joel 1:2-20
2
Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
3
Tell your sons about it, and your sons to their sons, and their sons to another generation.
4
What was left by the chewing locust, the swarming locust ate; and that left by the swarming locust, the locust larvae ate; and that left by the locust larvae, the consuming locust ate.
5
Awake, you drunkards, and weep. And wail, all you wine drinkers, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
6
For a nation has come up against my land, strong and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7
He has made My vine desolation, and he has splintered My fig tree. He has stripped it bare, and thrown it down; its branches grow white.
8
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9
The food offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
10
The field is wasted; the land mourns, for the grain is wasted. The new wine is dried up, the oil tree droops.
11
Be dried up, you farmers, howl, you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.
12
The vine is dried up and the fig tree droops, the pomegranate, and the palm tree, and the apple tree; all the trees of the field are dried up, because joy has dried up from the sons of men.
13
Gird yourselves and lament, you priests. Howl, you ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who serve my God. For the food offering and the drink offering are held back from the house of your God.
14
Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of Jehovah your God, and cry unto Jehovah.
15
Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand. And it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.
16
Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17
The seed shrivels under their clods; the storehouses are laid waste, the granaries are broken down, for the grain has dried up.
18
How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
19
O Jehovah, to You I will cry, for the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and has burned all the trees of the field.
20
The beasts of the field also pant after You, for the rivers of water are dried up, and the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
Joel 3:1-11
1
For, behold, in those days and in that time, when I bring back again the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2
I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of My people and My possession, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and divided up My land.
3
And they have cast lots for My people. And have given a boy as payment for a prostitute and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink.
4
And also, what are you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you restore a recompense to Me? And if you are dealing out to Me, I will return your dealings upon your own head, swiftly, speedily,
5
because you have taken My silver and My gold and have carried My desirable good things to your temples.
6
You have also sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you might remove them far from their borders.
7
Behold, I will arouse them from the place where you have sold them, and will return your dealings upon your own head.
8
And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a nation far off. For Jehovah has spoken.
9
Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate a war; wake up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.
10
Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, I am strong.
11
Assemble yourselves and come, all you nations; and gather yourselves together all around. O Jehovah, bring down Your mighty ones.
Micah 3:8-12
8
But by the Spirit of Jehovah I am full of power and justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
9
Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who abhor justice and pervert all equity,
10
who build up Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity:
11
Her heads judge for a bribe, and her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for money; yet they lean on Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah among us? No evil can come upon us.
12
Therefore, on account of you, Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the forest.
Nahum 1:1-3
1
The burden against Nineveh: The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2
The Mighty God is jealous, and Jehovah avenges, Jehovah avenges and is a possessor of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance against His foes, and He maintains wrath against His enemies.
3
Jehovah is slow to anger, and great of power, and He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
Amos 1:2
And he said: Jehovah will roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem. And the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall dry up.
