1:12 When you enter my presence,
do you actually think I want this –
animals trampling on my courtyards?
2:10 Go up into the rocky cliffs,
hide in the ground.
Get away from the dreadful judgment of the Lord,
from his royal splendor!
3:3 captains of groups of fifty,
the respected citizens,
advisers and those skilled in magical arts,
and those who know incantations.
3:15 Why do you crush my people
and grind the faces of the poor?”
The sovereign Lord who commands armies
9:15 The leaders and the highly respected people
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
24:1 Look, the Lord is ready to devastate the earth
and leave it in ruins;
he will mar its surface
and scatter its inhabitants.
26:17 As when a pregnant woman gets ready to deliver
and strains and cries out because of her labor pains,
so were we because of you, O Lord.
27:6 The time is coming when Jacob will take root;
Israel will blossom and grow branches.
The produce
30:11 Turn aside from the way,
stray off the path.
Remove from our presence the Holy One of Israel.”
45:2 “I will go before you
and level mountains.

and iron bars

so you could not say,
‘Yes,
48:19 Your descendants would have been as numerous as sand,
and your children
Their name would not have been cut off
and eliminated from my presence.
50:6 I offered my back to those who attacked,
my jaws to those who tore out my beard;
I did not hide my face
from insults and spitting.
54:8 In a burst
but with lasting devotion I will have compassion on you,”
says your protector,
63:12 the one who made his majestic power available to Moses,
who divided the water before them,
gaining for himself a lasting reputation,
64:3 When you performed awesome deeds that took us by surprise,
you came down, and the mountains trembled
65:3 These people continually and blatantly offend me
as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards
and burn incense on brick altars.
65:6 Look, I have decreed:
I will not keep silent, but will pay them back;
I will pay them back exactly what they deserve,
