And though they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it will kill them. And I will set My eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

Jehovah is in His holy temple; Jehovah's throne is in Heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids examine the sons of men.

Upon the wicked He will rain snares, fire and brimstone; and a horrible tempest shall be the portion of their cup.

For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah, and He ponders all his tracks.

The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, keeping watch over the evil and the good.

Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good. And all the men of Judah in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end to them.

And Jehovah said, I will obliterate man whom I have created from off the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens, for I regret having made them.

For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will obliterate from off the face of the earth all living substance that I have made.

(for Jehovah your God is a jealous Mighty God among you), lest the anger of Jehovah your God burn against you and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

And this matter was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as to annihilate and destroy it from the face of the earth.

And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And He said to him, Call her name Lo- ruhamah, for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

The glory of Ephraim shall fly away like a bird; from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.

As I watched Tyre, Ephraim was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall lead out his sons to the slayer.

All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them out of My house because of the wickedness of their doings, I will love them no more; all their rulers are rebellious.

My God shall cast them away because they did not give heed to Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

Though he is fruitful among brothers, an east wind shall come. The wind of Jehovah shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall be disappointed because his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasure of all desirable vessels.

Samaria is held guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped open.

(for Jehovah your God is a merciful Mighty God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn unto them.

Has He struck him, as He struck those who struck Him? Is He slain according to the slaughter of those slain by Him?

In driving and sending her away, you contend with her. He removes His fierce wind, in the day of the east wind.

Go up on her vine rows and destroy; but do not make a full end; take away her branches, for they are not Jehovah's.

For I am with you, says Jehovah, to save you. Though I make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a complete end of you; but I will correct you in justice, and will not acquit nor leave you unpunished.

Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea when its waves roar (Jehovah of Hosts is His name);

if those ordinances depart from My presence, says Jehovah, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.

Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? Thus they have despised My people, that they should no more be a nation before them.

then I will cast away the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will bring back their captives, and have mercy on them.

And it shall be, that whoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall escape. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Jehovah has said, and among the survivors whom Jehovah shall call.

For as you have drunk on My holy mountain, so shall all the nations continually drink. Yea, they shall drink and shall swallow; and they shall be as though they had never been.

But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and it shall be holy. And the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

I say then, has God cast away His people? Let it not be! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Lord, they have killed Your prophets and torn down Your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and the rest were hardened.
