Isaiah 26:20-21
26:20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms!
Close your doors behind you!
Hide for a little while,
until his angry judgment is over!
26:21 For look, the Lord is coming out of the place where he lives,
to punish the sin of those who live on the earth.
The earth will display the blood shed on it;
it will no longer cover up its slain.
Ecclesiastes 8:12

on the foreheads of the people who moan and groan over all the abominations practiced in it.”
Ezekiel 18:9-19
18:9 and follows my statutes and observes my regulations by carrying them out.
That man
is righteous; he will certainly live,
declares the sovereign
Lord.
18:10 “Suppose such a man has a violent son who sheds blood and does any of these things mentioned previously
18:11 (though the father did not do any of them). He eats pagan sacrifices on the mountains, defiles his neighbor’s wife,
18:12 oppresses the poor and the needy, commits robbery, does not give back what was given in pledge, prays to idols, performs abominable acts,
18:13 engages in usury and charges interest. Will he live? He will not! Because he has done all these abominable deeds he will certainly die. He will bear the responsibility for his own death.
18:14 “But suppose he in turn has a son who notices all the sins his father commits, considers them, and does not follow his father’s example.
18:15 He does not eat pagan sacrifices on the mountains, does not pray to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor’s wife,
18:16 does not oppress anyone or keep what has been given in pledge, does not commit robbery, gives his food to the hungry, and clothes the naked,
18:17 refrains from wrongdoing, does not engage in usury or charge interest, carries out my regulations and follows my statutes. He will not die for his father’s iniquity; he will surely live.
18:18 As for his father, because he practices extortion, robs his brother, and does what is not good among his people, he will die for his iniquity.
18:19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not suffer for his father’s iniquity?’ When the son does what is just and right, and observes all my statutes and carries them out, he will surely live.
Zephaniah 2:3
2:3 Seek the Lord’s favor, all you humble people of the land who have obeyed his commands!
Strive to do what is right! Strive to be humble!
Maybe you will be protected on the day of the Lord’s angry judgment.
Malachi 3:18
3:18 Then once more you will see that I make a distinction between
the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and the one who does not.
Romans 2:5-11
2:5 But because of your stubbornness
and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!
2:6 He
will reward each one according to his works:
2:7 eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,
2:8 but
wrath and anger to those who live in selfish ambition
and do not obey the truth but follow
unrighteousness.
2:9 There will be
affliction and distress on everyone
who does evil, on the Jew first and also the Greek,
2:10 but
glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, for the Jew first and also the Greek.
2:11 For there is no partiality with God.
