Jeremiah 12

Jer 12:1 Righteous are You, O Jehovah, when I might complain to You, yet let me speak with You of Your judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those dealers of deceit at ease?
Jer 12:2 You planted them; yea, they take root, they grow, they even make fruit. You are near in their mouth, and far from their reins.
Jer 12:3 But You know me, O Jehovah. You have seen me and tried my heart toward You. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and devote them to the day of slaughter.
Jer 12:4 Until when shall the land mourn, and the plant of every field wither from the evil of those who dwell in it? The beasts and the birds are swept away, because they said, He will not see our last end.
Jer 12:5 If you have run with footmen, and they wore you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if you trusted in the land of peace, then how will you do in the swelling of Jordan?
Jer 12:6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; even they have fully called after you. Do not believe them, though they speak good things to you.
Jer 12:7 I have forsaken My house; I have left My inheritance. I have given the beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies.
Jer 12:8 My inheritance has become as a lion in the forest to Me; she gave out her voice against Me; on account of this I hated her.
Jer 12:9 My inheritance is like a speckled bird to Me; the birds all around are against her. Come, gather all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
Jer 12:10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard; they have trampled My portion under foot; they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
Jer 12:11 One has made it desolate; it mourns to Me. The whole land is a desolation, but no man lays it to heart.
Jer 12:12 The ravagers have come on all bare heights through the wilderness, for the sword of Jehovah devours from one end of the land even to the other end of the land. There is no peace for any flesh.
Jer 12:13 They have sown wheat, but they have reaped thorns. They are worn out, but they do not profit. And they shall be ashamed of your harvests, because of the glow of the anger of Jehovah.
Jer 12:14 So says Jehovah against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will tear them from their land, and I will tear the house of Judah from among them.
Jer 12:15 And it shall be, after I have torn them out, I will return and have pity on them and will bring them again, each man to his inheritance and each man to his land.
Jer 12:16 And it shall be, if they will carefully learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, As Jehovah lives, as they taught My people to swear by Baal, then they will be built in the midst of My people.
Jer 12:17 But if they will not obey, then I will tear and destroy that nation, says Jehovah.

Jeremiah 11

Jer 11:1 The Word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Jer 11:2 Hear the Words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah, and to those living in Jerusalem,
Jer 11:3 and say to them, So says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Cursed is the man who does not obey the Words of this covenant,
Jer 11:4 which I commanded your fathers in the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey My voice and do them according to all that I command you, so that you shall be My people, and I will be your God;
Jer 11:5 in order to establish the oath which I swore to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, Amen, O Jehovah.
Jer 11:6 And Jehovah said to me, Declare all these Words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the Words of this covenant and do them.
Jer 11:7 For I solemnly warned your fathers in the day I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, to this day rising early and warning, saying, Obey My voice.
Jer 11:8 Yet they did not obey nor stretch out their ear, but each one walked in the stubbornness of their evil heart. And I will bring on them all the Words of this covenant which I commanded them to do, but they did not do.
Jer 11:9 And Jehovah said to me, A plot is found among the men of Judah, and among those living in Jerusalem.
Jer 11:10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My Words. And they went after other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I cut with their fathers.
Jer 11:11 So Jehovah says this: Behold, I will bring evil on them from which they shall not be able to escape. And though they cry to Me, I will not listen to them.
Jer 11:12 Then the cities of Judah and those living in Jerusalem shall go and cry to the gods to whom they burned incense. But they are not at all able to save them in the time of their trouble.
Jer 11:13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; yea, according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem you have set up altars to that shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.
Jer 11:14 And you, do not pray for this people; and do not lift up a cry or prayer for them. For I will not hear in the time they cry to Me for their trouble.
Jer 11:15 What is to My beloved in My house, since she has committed her many evils? And has the holy flesh caused your evil to pass from you? How then do you exult?
Jer 11:16 Jehovah called your name, a green olive tree, fair, with fine fruit. With the sound of a great roaring, He has set fire to it, and its branches are worthless.
Jer 11:17 And Jehovah of Hosts, who planted you, has spoken evil against you, because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah which they have done to themselves, to provoke Me to anger by burning incense to Baal.
Jer 11:18 And Jehovah made me know. And I knew. Then You made me know their doings.
Jer 11:19 And I was like a docile lamb being brought to the slaughter; and I did not know that they had plotted schemes against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit; and let us cut him off from the land of the living so that his name may be remembered no more.
Jer 11:20 But, O Jehovah of Hosts who judges with righteousness, who tries the reins and the heart, let me see Your vengeance on them. For to You I have laid open my cause.
Jer 11:21 For this reason, so says Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying, Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, that you do not die by our hand.
Jer 11:22 So Jehovah of Hosts says this: Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine.
Jer 11:23 And there shall be no survivor of them, for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.

Isaiah 20

Isa 20:1 In the year Tartan came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and fought against Ashdod, and took it;
Isa 20:2 at that time Jehovah spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, Go and loosen the sackcloth from your loins, and take your shoe off from your foot. And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.
Isa 20:3 And Jehovah said, Just as My servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot three years (a sign and a wonder on Egypt and on Ethiopia)
Isa 20:4 so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old; naked and barefoot, and with uncovered buttocks; to the nakedness of Egypt.
Isa 20:5 And they shall be afraid and ashamed of their hope Ethiopia, and of their glory Egypt.
Isa 20:6 And he who lives in this coast shall say in that day, Behold, this has become of our hope to which we fled for help there, to be delivered from before the king of Assyria; and, How shall we escape?

Isa 19:9 And the workers in fine flax, and the weavers of white cloth are ashamed.
Isa 19:10 And her supports shall be crushed; and all who make wages shall be sad of soul.
Isa 19:11 Surely the rulers of Zoan are fools; the advice of Pharaoh’s wise counselor has become stupid. How can you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of wise ones, the son of kings of old?
Isa 19:12 Where are your wise ones now? Yea, let them tell you now, that they may know what Jehovah of Hosts has planned against Egypt.
Isa 19:13 The rulers of Zoan are fools; the rulers of Noph are deceived; they also have led Egypt astray, the cornerstone of her tribes.
Isa 19:14 Jehovah has mixed a perverse spirit in her midst; and they led astray Egypt in all his work; as a drunkard strays in his vomit.
Isa 19:15 And Egypt shall have no work that the head or the tail, the branch or rush, may do.

Isa 19:19 Then an altar to Jehovah shall be in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Jehovah at its border.

Isa 19:21 And Jehovah shall be known to Egypt. Egypt shall know Jehovah in that day. And they shall offer sacrifice and offering, and vow a vow to Jehovah, and repay it.

Isa 19:25 whom Jehovah of Hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be My people Egypt, and Assyria, the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.

Isaiah 18

Isa 18:1 Woe to the land of whirring of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia;
Isa 18:2 which sends envoys by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the face of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, to a dreadful people from it and onwards; and a nation mighty and trampling down, whose land the rivers have divided!
Isa 18:3 All you inhabitants of the world and those living on the earth, as one lifts a banner on the peaks, you will see. And you will hear as the blowing of a ram’s horn.
Isa 18:4 For so Jehovah said to me, I will rest, and I will watch My dwelling place; as the glowing heat on light; as the cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

Isa 18:6 They shall be left together to the birds of the hills, and to the beasts of the earth. And the birds shall summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter on them.

Isa 17:12 Woe to the multitude of many peoples; they roar like the roar of seas; and the crash of nations, they crash like the crash of mighty waters!
Isa 17:13 The nations shall crash like the crashing of many waters, but He rebukes it, and it flees far away; yea, it is driven like the chaff of mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before a tempest.
Isa 17:14 At the time of evening, behold, terror! Before it is morning, it shall not be. This is the portion of those robbing us, and the lot of those plundering us.

Isaiah 16

Isa 16:1 Send a lamb to the ruler of the land, from the rock of the desert to the mount of the daughter of Zion.
Isa 16:2 For it is as a fleeing bird cast out of the nest; the daughters of Moab shall be at the fords of Arnon.
Isa 16:3 Take counsel; do judgment; make your shadow as the night in midday; hide the outcasts; do not uncover the fugitive!

Isa 16:10 And gladness and joy is gathered up from the fruitful field; and there is no singing and no shouting in the vineyards; the one treading shall not tread out wine in the presses. I have made the shout to cease.

Isa 16:12 And it shall be, when it is seen that Moab shall be wearied on the high place, then he shall come to his shrine to pray, and he shall not be able.
Isa 16:13 This is the Word that Jehovah had spoken to Moab from that time.

Isa 15:8 For the cry has gone around Moab’s borders; his howling even to Eglaim; and his howling even to the Well of Elim.

Isa 14:11 Your majesty is lowered into Sheol; the noise of your harps. The maggot is spread under you; yea, the worms cover you.
Isa 14:12 Oh shining star, son of the morning, how you have fallen from the heavens! You weakening the nations, you are cut down to the ground.

Isa 14:25 to break Assyria in My land, and trample him on My mountains. Then his yoke shall depart from them, and his burden shall depart from his shoulders.
Isa 14:26 This is the purpose that is purposed on all the earth; and this the hand that is stretched out on all the nations.
Isa 14:27 For Jehovah of Hosts has purposed. And who shall reverse it? And His hand is stretched out. Who shall turn it back?
Isa 14:28 This burden was in the year King Ahaz died:
Isa 14:29 Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, for the rod of your striking is broken, because a viper comes forth from the root of a snake, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
