Page 3 / 5 (2Ch 33:6–Ecc 6:11)
He passed his sons through the fire in Ben Hinnom Valley. He practiced witchcraft, divination, and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did a huge amount of evil in the LORD’s sight, angering him.
But he did not humble himself before the LORD like his father Manasseh humbled himself; instead, Amon increased his guilt.
All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the LORD’s temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.
And I said:
My God, I am ashamed and embarrassed to lift my face toward you, my God, because our iniquities are higher than our heads and our guilt is as high as the heavens.
While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling facedown before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Israelite men, women, and children gathered around him. The people also wept bitterly.
“But there are many people, and it is the rainy season. We don’t have the stamina to stay out in the open. This isn’t something that can be done in a day or two, for we have rebelled terribly in this matter.
so the king said to me, “Why do you look so sad, when you aren’t sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart.”
I was overwhelmed with fear
When Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious. He mocked the Jews
In Judah, it was said:[fn]
The strength of the laborer fails,
since there is so much rubble.
We will never be able
to rebuild the wall.
Then I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “The work is enormous and spread out, and we are separated far from one another along the wall.
Each[fn] day, one ox, six choice sheep, and some fowl were prepared for me. An abundance of all kinds of wine was provided every ten days. But I didn’t demand the food allotted to the governor, because the burden on the people was so heavy.
During those days, the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them.
You multiplied their descendants
like the stars of the sky
and brought them to the land
you told their ancestors to go in and possess.
Its abundant harvest goes to the kings
you have set over us,
because of our sins.
They rule over our bodies
and our livestock as they please.
We are in great distress.
Even if his children increase, they are destined for the sword;
his descendants will never have enough food.
For he adds rebellion to his sin;
he scornfully claps in our presence,
while multiplying his words against God.
Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field.
They leave and do not return.[fn]
The sorrows of those who take another god
for themselves will multiply;
I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood,
and I will not speak their names with my lips.
You have given me the shield of your salvation;
your right hand upholds me,
and your humility exalts me.
Do not be afraid when a person gets rich,
when the wealth[fn] of his house increases.
Yet he was compassionate;
he atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them.
He often turned his anger aside
and did not unleash[fn] all his wrath.
He blesses them, and they multiply greatly;
he does not let their livestock decrease.
Israel, put your hope in the LORD.
For there is faithful love with the LORD,
and with him is redemption in abundance.
Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle,
but whoever earns it through labor[fn] will multiply it.
Oppressing the poor to enrich oneself,
and giving to the rich — both lead only to poverty.
Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest
collects it for one who is kind to the poor.
When the wicked come to power,
people hide,
but when they are destroyed,
the righteous flourish.
When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice,
but when the wicked rule, people groan.
When the wicked increase, rebellion increases,
but the righteous will see their downfall.
I said to myself, “See, I have amassed wisdom far beyond all those who were over Jerusalem before me, and my mind has thoroughly grasped[fn] wisdom and knowledge.”
I acquired male and female servants and had slaves who were born in my house. I also owned livestock — large herds and flocks — more than all who were before me in Jerusalem.
When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes?
The sleep of the worker is sweet, whether he eats little or much, but the abundance of the rich permits him no sleep.
What is more, he eats in darkness all his days, with much frustration, sickness, and anger.
for he does not often consider the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with the joy of his heart.
