Isaiah 10:20
10:20 At that time those left in Israel, those who remain of the family of Jacob, will no longer rely on a foreign leader that abuses them. Instead they will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

spewing out the foam of

for whom the utter depths of eternal darkness
have been reserved.

Jude 1:3-5
Condemnation of the False Teachers
1:3 Dear friends, although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation, I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.
1:4 For certain men have secretly slipped in among you – men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe – ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
1:5 Now I desire to remind you (even though you have been fully informed of these facts once for all) that Jesus, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, later destroyed those who did not believe.
Jeremiah 7:4-11
7:4 Stop putting your confidence in the false belief that says,
“We are safe!
The temple of the
Lord is here! The temple of the
Lord is here! The temple of the
Lord is here!”
7:5 You must change
the way you have been living and do what is right. You must treat one another fairly.
7:6 Stop oppressing foreigners who live in your land, children who have lost their fathers, and women who have lost their husbands.
Stop killing innocent people
in this land. Stop paying allegiance to
other gods. That will only bring about your ruin.
7:7 If you stop doing these things,
I will allow you to continue to live in this land
which I gave to your ancestors as a lasting possession.
7:8 “‘But just look at you! You are putting your confidence in a false belief that will not deliver you.
7:9 You steal. You murder. You commit adultery. You lie when you swear on oath. You sacrifice to the god Baal. You pay allegiance to other gods whom you have not previously known.
7:10 Then you come and stand in my presence in this temple I have claimed as my own and say, “We are safe!” You think you are so safe that you go on doing all those hateful sins!
7:11 Do you think this temple I have claimed as my own is to be a hideout for robbers? You had better take note! I have seen for myself what you have done! says the Lord.
Jeremiah 21:2
21:2 “Please ask the
Lord to come and help us,
because King Nebuchadnezzar
of Babylon is attacking us. Maybe the
Lord will perform one of his miracles as in times past and make him stop attacking us and leave.”
Micah 3:11
3:11 Her leaders take bribes when they decide legal cases,
her priests proclaim rulings for profit,
and her prophets read omens for pay.
Yet they claim to trust the Lord and say,
“The Lord is among us.
Disaster will not overtake us!”
John 8:40-41
8:40 But now you are trying
to kill me, a man who has told you
the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
8:41 You people
are doing the deeds of your father.”
Then they said to Jesus, “We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself.”
Romans 2:17
The Condemnation of the Jew
2:17 But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God
