For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not cease.

Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.

And a Branch shall go out from the trunk of Jesse, and a Shoot shall grow out of his roots.

You have planted them; yea, they take root. They grow, yea, they bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouth, but far from their heart.

For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and everyone that does wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says Jehovah of Hosts, which will not leave to them root or branch.

Then one who imposes taxes shall stand in his place, in the glorious kingdom. But within a few days he will be broken in pieces, but not in anger nor in battle.

For he sees wise men die; likewise the fool and the brutish ones perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Nevertheless man, though precious, does not remain; he is like the animals that perish.

Let his days be few, and let another take his office.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?

But You, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction; bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in You.

Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact gave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.
