Isaiah 24:1-2
The Lord Will Judge the Earth
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.
24:2 Everyone will suffer – the priest as well as the people,
the master as well as the servant,
the elegant lady as well as the female attendant,
the seller as well as the buyer,
the borrower as well as the lender,
the creditor as well as the debtor.
Jeremiah 32:7-8
32:7 ‘Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, will come to you soon. He will say to you, “Buy my field at Anathoth because you are entitled
as my closest relative to buy it.”’
32:8 Now it happened just as the
Lord had said! My cousin Hanamel
came to me in the courtyard of the guardhouse. He said to me, ‘Buy my field which is at Anathoth in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. Buy it for yourself since you are entitled as my closest relative to take possession of it for yourself.’ When this happened, I recognized that the
Lord had indeed spoken to me.
Jeremiah 32:24-25
32:24 Even now siege ramps have been built up around the city
in order to capture it. War,
starvation, and disease are sure to make the city fall into the hands of the Babylonians
who are attacking it.
Lord,
you threatened that this would happen. Now you can see that it is already taking place.
32:25 The city is sure to fall into the hands of the Babylonians.
Yet, in spite of this,
you, Lord
God,
have said to me, “Buy that field with silver and have the transaction legally witnessed.”’”
