2 Kings 13:23
13:23 But the
Lord had mercy on them and felt pity for them.
He extended his favor to them
because of the promise he had made
to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He has been unwilling to destroy them or remove them from his presence to this very day.
2 Kings 23:27
23:27 The
Lord announced, “I will also spurn Judah,
just as I spurned Israel. I will reject this city that I chose – both Jerusalem and the temple, about which I said, “I will live there.”
Deuteronomy 29:20-28
29:20 The
Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger
will rage
against that man; all the curses
written in this scroll will fall upon him
and the
Lord will obliterate his name from memory.
29:21 The
Lord will single him out
for judgment
from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law.
29:22 The generation to come – your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places – will see
the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the
Lord has brought on it.
29:23 The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the
Lord destroyed in his intense anger.
29:24 Then all the nations will ask, “Why has the
Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger
all about?”
29:25 Then people will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the
Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
29:26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.
29:27 That is why the
Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses
written in this scroll.
29:28 So the
Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”
Deuteronomy 32:21-26
32:21 They have made me jealous with false gods,
enraging me with their worthless gods;
so I will make them jealous with a people they do not recognize,
with a nation slow to learn I will enrage them.
32:22 For a fire has been kindled by my anger,
and it burns to lowest Sheol;
it consumes the earth and its produce,
and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
32:23 I will increase their disasters,
I will use up my arrows on them.
32:24 They will be starved by famine,
eaten by plague, and bitterly stung;
I will send the teeth of wild animals against them,
along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.
32:25 The sword will make people childless outside,
and terror will do so inside;
they will destroy both the young man and the virgin,
the infant and the gray-haired man.
The Weakness of Other Gods
32:26 “I said, ‘I want to cut them in pieces.
I want to make people forget they ever existed.
Joshua 23:13
23:13 know for certain that the
Lord our God will no longer drive out these nations from before you. They will trap and ensnare you;
they will be a whip that tears
your sides and thorns that blind
your eyes until you disappear
from this good land the
Lord your God gave you.
Joshua 23:15
23:15 But in the same way every faithful promise the
Lord your God made to you has been realized,
it is just as certain, if you disobey, that the
Lord will bring on you every judgment
until he destroys you from this good land which the
Lord your God gave you.
Jeremiah 15:1
15:1 Then the Lord said to me, “Even if Moses and Samuel stood before me pleading for these people, I would not feel pity for them! Get them away from me! Tell them to go away!
Hosea 9:3
Assyrian Exile Will Reverse the Egyptian Exodus
9:3 They will not remain in the Lord’s land.
Ephraim will return to Egypt;
they will eat ritually unclean food in Assyria.
