broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots.

who sit in a drunken stupor,
though not from drinking wine.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 52:1 - Wake up, wake up, O Zion!

for unclean and godless people will enter your gates no longer.

but you never gave up.
Desire gave you renewed strength,

they will pray day and night, continually.
Take no rest, all you who pray to the LORD.

They were like fine stallions
racing through the desert, never stumbling.

the Spirit of the LORD gave them rest.
You led your people, LORD,
and gained a magnificent reputation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 63:17 - LORD, why have you allowed us to turn from your path?

Return and help us, for we are your servants,
the tribes that are your special possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 64:5 - You welcome those who gladly do good,
who follow godly ways.
But you have been very angry with us,
for we are not godly.
We are constant sinners;
how can people like us be saved?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 64:6 - We are all infected and impure with sin.
When we display our righteous deeds,
they are nothing but filthy rags.
Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall,
and our sins sweep us away like the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 64:7 - Yet no one calls on your name
or pleads with you for mercy.
Therefore, you have turned away from us
and turned us over[fn] to our sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:3 - All day long they insult me to my face
by worshiping idols in their sacred gardens.
They burn incense on pagan altars.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:13 - Therefore, this is what the Sovereign LORD says:

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:31 - “O my people, listen to the words of the LORD!

Why then do my people say, ‘At last we are free from God!
We don't need him anymore!'

are a delusion.
Only in the LORD our God

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:2 - But even when they are under oath,
saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,'
they are still telling lies!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:6 - So now a lion from the forest will attack them;

A leopard will lurk near their towns,
tearing apart any who dare to venture out.
For their rebellion is great,
and their sins are many.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:14 - Therefore, this is what the LORD God of Heaven's Armies says:

Take note of my people's situation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 6:21 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says:

Neighbors and friends will die together.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:20 - So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “I will pour out my terrible fury on this place. Its people, animals, trees, and crops will be consumed by the unquenchable fire of my anger.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:32 - So beware, for the time is coming,” says the LORD, “when that garbage dump will no longer be called Topheth or the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. They will bury the bodies in Topheth until there is no more room for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:5 - Then why do these people stay on their self-destructive path?
Why do the people of Jerusalem refuse to turn back?
They cling tightly to their lies
and will not turn around.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:10 - I will give their wives to others
and their farms to strangers.
From the least to the greatest,
their lives are ruled by greed.

it can be heard all across the land.

and their worthless foreign gods?” says the LORD.

for the wounds of my people?

and test them like metal.
What else can I do with my people?[fn]

so I have treated them with contempt.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:22 - You may ask yourself,

That is why you have been stripped
and raped by invading armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:15 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says: I will punish these lying prophets, for they have spoken in my name even though I never sent them. They say that no war or famine will come, but they themselves will die by war and famine!

Do not disgrace your own glorious throne.
Please remember us,
and do not break your covenant with us.

and take away the children you hold dear.

because they refuse to change their evil ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:13 - At no cost to them,
I will hand over your wealth and treasures
as plunder to your enemies,
for sin runs rampant in your land.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 15:19 - This is how the LORD responds:
“If you return to me, I will restore you
so you can continue to serve me.
If you speak good words rather than worthless ones,
you will be my spokesman.
You must influence them;
do not let them influence you!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 16:10 - “When you tell the people all these things, they will ask, ‘Why has the LORD decreed such terrible things against us? What have we done to deserve such treatment? What is our sin against the LORD our God?'

as a shepherd for your people.
I have not urged you to send disaster.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:24 - “‘But if you obey me, says the LORD, and do not carry on your trade at the gates or work on the Sabbath day, and if you keep it holy,
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 17:25 - then kings and their officials will go in and out of these gates forever. There will always be a descendant of David sitting on the throne here in Jerusalem. Kings and their officials will always ride in and out among the people of Judah in chariots and on horses, and this city will remain forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:13 - So this is what the LORD says:
“Has anyone ever heard of such a thing,
even among the pagan nations?
My virgin daughter Israel
has done something terrible!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 18:21 - So let their children starve!
Let them die by the sword!
Let their wives become childless widows.

Their dishonor will never be forgotten.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 22:8 - “People from many nations will pass by the ruins of this city and say to one another, ‘Why did the LORD destroy such a great city?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 22:18 - Therefore, this is what the LORD says about Jehoiakim, son of King Josiah:

for they prophesied in the name of Baal
and led my people of Israel into sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 23:15 - Therefore, this is what the LORD of Heaven's Armies says concerning the prophets:
“I will feed them with bitterness
and give them poison to drink.
