Hear the word which the LORD speaks to you, house of Israel! 1Th 2:13Amo 7:16Hos 4:1Jer 13:15-17Jer 42:15Rev 2:29Isa 1:10Isa 28:14 The LORD says, Lev 20:23Lev 18:3Ezk 20:32Luk 21:25-28Deu 12:30-31Isa 47:12-14
“Don’t learn the way of the nations,
and don’t be dismayed at the signs of the sky;
for the nations are dismayed at them.
For the customs of the peoples are vanity; 1Pe 1:18Isa 44:9-20Lev 18:30Jer 10:8Rom 1:21Isa 45:20Mat 6:71Ki 18:26-28
for one cuts a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman with the ax.
They deck it with silver and with gold. Isa 46:7Isa 40:19-20Isa 41:6-7Isa 44:12Psa 115:4Psa 135:15
They fasten it with nails and with hammers,
so that it can’t move.
They are like a palm tree, of turned work, Isa 46:71Co 12:2Isa 41:23-24Psa 115:5-81Co 8:4Hab 2:19Isa 46:1Psa 135:16-18
and don’t speak.
They must be carried,
because they can’t move.
Don’t be afraid of them;
for they can’t do evil,
neither is it in them to do good.”
There is no one like you, LORD. Exo 15:11Psa 96:4Psa 48:1Deu 33:26Isa 12:6Psa 145:32Sa 7:22Dan 4:3
You are great,
and your name is great in might.
Who shouldn’t fear you, Rev 15:4Psa 22:281Co 1:19-20Jer 10:6Jer 5:22Psa 89:6Isa 2:4Job 37:23-24
King of the nations?
For it belongs to you.
Because among all the wise men of the nations,
and in all their royal estate,
there is no one like you.
But they are together brutish and foolish, Jer 10:14Zec 10:2Hab 2:18Isa 41:29Jer 51:17-18Psa 115:8Psa 135:18Rom 1:21-22
instructed by idols!
It is just wood.
There is silver beaten into plates, which is brought from Tarshish, Psa 115:4Dan 10:51Ki 10:22Isa 40:19Ezk 27:12
and gold from Uphaz,
the work of the engraver and of the hands of the goldsmith.
Their clothing is blue and purple.
They are all the work of skillful men.
But the LORD is the true God. Deu 32:4Isa 57:15Nam 1:6Psa 76:7Psa 104:32Psa 18:7Psa 31:5Psa 42:2
He is the living God,
and an everlasting King.
At his wrath, the earth trembles.
The nations aren’t able to withstand his indignation.
“You shall say this to them: ‘The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth, and from under the heavens.’” Psa 96:5Isa 2:18Jer 10:15Jer 51:18Lam 3:66Zec 13:2Zep 2:11Rev 20:2
God has made the earth by his power. Gen 1:1Job 9:8Pro 3:19Isa 40:22Col 1:16Jhn 1:3Psa 24:2Isa 42:5
He has established the world by his wisdom,
and by his understanding has he stretched out the heavens.
When he utters his voice, Psa 135:7Job 38:22Job 38:34-35Psa 18:131Ki 18:411Ki 18:45-461Sa 12:17-18Exo 9:23
the waters in the heavens roar,
and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth.
He makes lightnings for the rain,
and brings the wind out of his treasuries.
Every man has become brutish and without knowledge. Psa 135:16-18Psa 115:4-8Isa 46:7-8Hab 2:18-19Isa 44:18-20Rom 1:22-23Jer 51:17-18Isa 42:17
Every goldsmith is disappointed by his engraved image;
for his molten image is falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
They are vanity, a work of delusion. Isa 41:24Jer 14:22Jer 51:18Isa 2:18-21Jer 8:12Jer 8:19Jon 2:8Zec 13:2
In the time of their visitation they will perish.
The portion of Jacob is not like these; Deu 32:9Jer 32:18Jer 31:35Jer 10:12Jer 51:19Psa 119:57Psa 74:2Lam 3:24
for he is the maker of all things;
and Israel is the tribe of his inheritance.
The LORD of Armies is his name.
Gather up your wares out of the land, Ezk 12:3-12Jer 6:1Mat 24:15Mic 2:10Jer 21:13
you who live under siege.
For the LORD says, 1Sa 25:29Zec 1:6Deu 28:63-64Ezk 6:10Jer 15:1-2Jer 16:13Jer 23:20
“Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this time,
and will distress them, that they may feel it.”
Woe is me because of my injury! Mic 7:9Jer 14:17Jer 4:31Lam 3:18-21Lam 3:39-40Isa 8:17Jer 17:13Jer 4:19
My wound is serious;
but I said,
“Truly this is my grief, and I must bear it.”
My tent has been destroyed, Jer 4:20Jer 31:15Isa 49:20-22Isa 54:2Isa 51:16Job 7:8Lam 1:5Lam 2:4-6
and all my cords are broken.
My children have gone away from me, and they are no more.
There is no one to spread my tent any more,
to set up my curtains.
For the shepherds have become brutish, Ezk 34:2-10Jer 12:10Jer 23:1-2Isa 56:10-12Ezk 22:25-30Ezk 34:12Jer 10:8Jer 2:8
and have not inquired of the LORD.
Therefore they have not prospered,
and all their flocks have scattered.
The voice of news, behold, it comes, Jer 9:11Hab 1:6-9Jer 1:15Jer 4:6Jer 5:15Jer 6:1Jer 6:22Mal 1:3
and a great commotion out of the north country,
to make the cities of Judah a desolation,
a dwelling place of jackals.
LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself. Pro 20:24Pro 16:1Psa 37:23Psa 119:116-117Psa 17:5
It is not in man who walks to direct his steps.
LORD, correct me, but gently; Psa 38:1Psa 6:1Jer 30:11Isa 40:23Job 6:18Hab 3:2Isa 41:11-12
not in your anger,
lest you reduce me to nothing.
Pour out your wrath on the nations that don’t know you, Psa 79:6-7Jer 8:16Job 18:21Psa 14:41Th 4:52Th 1:8Ezk 25:6-8Jer 50:17
and on the families that don’t call on your name;
for they have devoured Jacob.
Yes, they have devoured him, consumed him,
and have laid waste his habitation.
