Hosea 6:5
6:5 Therefore, I will certainly cut you into pieces at the hands of the prophets;
I will certainly kill you in fulfillment of my oracles of judgment;
for my judgment will come forth like the light of the dawn.
Isaiah 1:5
1:5 Why do you insist on being battered?
Why do you continue to rebel?
Your head has a massive wound,
your whole body is weak.
Jeremiah 5:3
5:3 Lord, I know you look for faithfulness.
But even when you punish these people, they feel no remorse.
Even when you nearly destroy them, they refuse to be corrected.
They have become as hardheaded as a rock.
They refuse to change their ways.
Jeremiah 25:3-7
25:3 “For the last twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was ruling in Judah
until now, the
Lord has been speaking to me. I told you over and over again
what he said.
But you would not listen.
25:4 Over and over again
the
Lord has sent
his servants the prophets to you. But you have not listened or paid attention.
25:5 He said through them,
‘Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and stop doing the evil things you are doing.
If you do, I will allow you to continue to live here in the land that I gave to you and your ancestors as a lasting possession.
25:6 Do not pay allegiance to
other gods and worship and serve them. Do not make me angry by the things that you do.
Then I will not cause you any harm.’
25:7 So, now the
Lord says,
‘You have not listened to me. But
you have made me angry by the things that you have done.
Thus you have brought harm on yourselves.’
Amos 4:6-12
4:6 “But surely I gave you no food to eat in any of your cities;
you lacked food everywhere you live.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:7 “I withheld rain from you three months before the harvest.
I gave rain to one city, but not to another.
One field would get rain, but the field that received no rain dried up.
4:8 People from two or three cities staggered into one city to get water,
but remained thirsty.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:9 “I destroyed your crops with blight and disease.
Locusts kept devouring your orchards, vineyards, fig trees, and olive trees.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:10 “I sent against you a plague like one of the Egyptian plagues.
I killed your young men with the sword,
along with the horses you had captured.
I made the stench from the corpses rise up into your nostrils.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:11 “I overthrew some of you the way God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
You were like a burning stick snatched from the flames.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
4:12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel.
Because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, Israel!
Zephaniah 3:1-2
Jerusalem is Corrupt
3:1 The filthy, stained city is as good as dead;
the city filled with oppressors is finished!
3:2 She is disobedient;
she refuses correction.
She does not trust the Lord;
she does not seek the advice of her God.
Revelation 3:19
3:19 All those
I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent!
