11:9 Rejoice, young man, while you are young,
and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth.
Follow the impulses
but know that God will judge your motives and actions.
8:9 You will be broken,
you will be shattered!
Pay attention, all you distant lands of the earth!
Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!
Get ready for battle, and you will be shattered!
8:10 Devise your strategy, but it will be thwarted!
Issue your orders, but they will not be executed!
For God is with us!
44:15 A man uses it to make a fire;
he takes some of it and warms himself.
Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread.
Then he makes a god and worships it;
he makes an idol and bows down to it.
44:16 Half of it he burns in the fire –
over that half he cooks
he roasts a meal and fills himself.
Yes, he warms himself and says,
‘Ah! I am warm as I look at the fire.’
44:17 With the rest of it he makes a god, his idol;
he bows down to it and worships it.
He prays to it, saying,
‘Rescue me, for you are my god!’
20:39 “‘As for you, O house of Israel, this is what the sovereign Lord says: Each of you go and serve your idols,
4:4 “Go to Bethel
At Gilgal
Bring your sacrifices in
your tithes on
4:5 Burn a thank offering of bread made with yeast!
Make a public display of your voluntary offerings!
For you love to do this, you Israelites.”
The sovereign Lord is speaking!
