3:16 The Lord says,
“The women
They walk with their heads high
and flirt with their eyes.
They skip along
and the jewelry on their ankles jingles.
9:12 Syria from the east,
and the Philistines from the west,
they gobbled up Israelite territory.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again.
10:2 to keep the poor from getting fair treatment,
and to deprive
so they can steal what widows own,
and loot what belongs to orphans.
10:4 You will have no place to go, except to kneel with the prisoners,
or to fall among those who have been killed.
Despite all this, his anger does not subside,
and his hand is ready to strike again.
31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;
their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.
The Lord will strike with
the one who helps will stumble
and the one being helped will fall.
Together they will perish.
34:11 Owls and wild animals
all kinds of wild birds
The Lord
the measuring line of ruin
and the plumb line
42:5 This is what the true God,
the one who created the sky and stretched it out,
the one who fashioned the earth and everything that lives on it,
the one who gives breath to the people on it,
and life to those who live on it:
44:13 A carpenter takes measurements;
he marks out an outline of its form;
he scrapes
and marks it with a compass.
He patterns it after the human form,
like a well-built human being,
and puts it in a shrine.
44:20 He feeds on ashes;
his deceived mind misleads him.
He cannot rescue himself,
nor does he say, ‘Is this not a false god I hold in my right hand?’
44:24 This is what the Lord, your protector,
the one who formed you in the womb:
“I am the Lord, who made everything,
who alone stretched out the sky,
who fashioned the earth all by myself,
45:12 I made the earth,
I created the people who live
It was me – my hands
I give orders to all the heavenly lights.
55:3 Pay attention and come to me!
Listen, so you can live!
Then I will make an unconditional covenantal promise to
just like the reliable covenantal promises I made to David.
