The righteous perish, 2Ki 22:202Ch 34:28Psa 12:1Mic 7:2Isa 42:25Isa 47:71Ki 14:132Ch 35:24
and no one lays it to heart.
Merciful men are taken away,
and no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the evil.
He enters into peace. Rev 14:132Co 5:1Job 3:17Luk 2:292Co 5:8Ecc 12:72Ch 16:14Luk 7:50
They rest in their beds,
each one who walks in his uprightness.
“But draw near here, you sons of a sorceress, 1Jn 3:10Mat 16:4Hos 1:2Jas 4:4Gen 3:15Isa 1:21Isa 45:20Jhn 8:40-44
you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes.
Whom do you mock? 2Pe 2:13Exo 9:17Isa 1:4Psa 35:21Act 9:4Col 3:6Eph 2:2-3Eph 5:6
Against whom do you make a wide mouth
and stick out your tongue?
Aren’t you children of disobedience
and offspring of falsehood,
you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, 2Ki 16:3-4Ezk 16:20Isa 1:292Ki 23:10Jer 2:20Jer 3:13Jer 7:31Lev 18:21
under every green tree;
who kill the children in the valleys,
under the clefts of the rocks?
Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion. Jer 3:9Jer 7:18Hab 2:19Deu 32:37-38Ezk 20:39Isa 65:11Isa 66:3Jer 19:13
They, they are your lot.
You have even poured a drink offering to them.
You have offered an offering.
Shall I be appeased for these things?
On a high and lofty mountain you have set your bed. Ezk 16:16Ezk 23:41Jer 2:20Ezk 16:25Ezk 20:28-29Jer 3:6Jer 3:2Ezk 23:17
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
You have set up your memorial behind the doors and the posts, Ezk 16:25-28Ezk 16:32Ezk 23:2-20Ezk 23:41Ezk 8:8-12
for you have exposed yourself to someone besides me,
and have gone up.
You have enlarged your bed
and made a covenant for yourself with them.
You loved what you saw on their bed.
You went to the king with oil, Ezk 23:16Col 2:18Ezk 23:40Isa 30:1-6Isa 31:1-32Ki 16:7-11Ezk 16:33Hos 12:1
increased your perfumes,
sent your ambassadors far off,
and degraded yourself even to Sheol. 1
You were wearied with the length of your ways; Jer 2:25Jer 18:12Jer 5:32Ch 28:22-23Ezk 24:12Hab 2:13Isa 47:13Jer 2:36
yet you didn’t say, ‘It is in vain.’
You found a reviving of your strength;
therefore you weren’t faint.
“Whom have you dreaded and feared, Isa 51:12-13Pro 29:25Psa 50:21Jer 3:21Ecc 8:11Isa 26:10Isa 30:9Isa 59:3-4
so that you lie,
and have not remembered me, nor laid it to your heart?
Haven’t I held my peace for a long time,
and you don’t fear me?
I will declare your righteousness; Isa 1:11-15Jer 7:4-11Mat 23:13Mic 3:2-4Rom 3:10-20Isa 29:15Isa 58:2-6Isa 59:6-8
and as for your works, they will not benefit you.
When you cry, Psa 37:9Psa 37:3Isa 56:7Isa 65:25Ezk 20:40Isa 11:9Isa 65:9Isa 66:20
let those whom you have gathered deliver you,
but the wind will take them.
A breath will carry them all away,
but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land,
and will inherit my holy mountain.”
He will say, “Build up, build up, prepare the way! Isa 62:10Luk 3:5-6Isa 35:8Isa 40:3Jer 18:151Co 8:13Rom 14:13Heb 12:13
Remove the stumbling-block out of the way of my people.”
For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, Psa 34:18Isa 66:1-2Psa 138:6Psa 147:3Exo 15:11Dan 4:34Psa 51:17Isa 40:28
whose name is Holy, says:
“I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble,
and to revive the heart of the contrite.
For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; Mic 7:18Jer 10:24Psa 103:9-16Psa 85:5Heb 12:9Psa 78:38-39Gen 6:3Job 34:14-15
for the spirit would faint before me,
and the souls whom I have made.
I was angry because of the iniquity of his covetousness and struck him. Isa 56:11Col 3:5Jer 6:132Pe 2:14Eph 5:3-51Ti 6:9Ecc 6:9Ezk 33:31
I hid myself and was angry;
and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.
I have seen his ways, and will heal him. Jer 33:6Rev 7:17Jer 3:22Hos 14:4-8Jer 31:3Ezk 16:60-63Isa 61:1-3Jer 13:17
I will lead him also,
and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.
I create the fruit of the lips: Act 2:39Heb 13:15Act 10:36Eph 6:19Luk 10:5-6Luk 2:14Luk 21:152Co 5:20-21
Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near,”
says the LORD; “and I will heal them.”
But the wicked are like the troubled sea; Isa 3:11Pro 4:16-17Job 18:5-14Job 15:20-24Job 20:11-29Jud 1:12Psa 73:18-20
for it can’t rest and its waters cast up mire and mud.
“There is no peace”, says my God, Isa 48:22Isa 3:112Ki 9:22Isa 59:8Rom 3:16-17
“for the wicked.”
