40:24 Indeed, they are barely planted;
yes, they are barely sown;
yes, they barely take root in the earth,
and then he blows on them, causing them to dry up,
and the wind carries them away like straw.
44:9 All who form idols are nothing;
the things in which they delight are worthless.
Their witnesses cannot see;
they recognize nothing, so they are put to shame.
26:10 If the wicked are shown mercy,
they do not learn about justice.
Even in a land where right is rewarded, they act unjustly;
they do not see the Lord’s majesty revealed.
26:14 The dead do not come back to life,
the spirits of the dead do not rise.
That is because
you wiped out all memory of them.
26:18 We were pregnant, we strained,
we gave birth, as it were, to wind.
We cannot produce deliverance on the earth;
people to populate the world are not born.
33:23 Though at this time your ropes are slack,
the mast is not secured,
and the sail
at that time you will divide up a great quantity of loot;
even the lame will drag off plunder.
33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!
You
a peaceful settlement,
a tent that stays put;
its stakes will never be pulled up;
none of its ropes will snap in two.
33:24 No resident of Zion
the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.
43:17 the one who led chariots and horses to destruction,
together with a mighty army.
They fell down,
they were extinguished, put out like a burning wick:
14:21 Prepare to execute
for the sins their ancestors have committed.
They must not rise up and take possession of the earth,
or fill the surface of the world with cities.”
26:11 O Lord, you are ready to act,
but they don’t even notice.
They will see and be put to shame by your angry judgment against humankind,
yes, fire will consume your enemies.
35:9 No lions will be there,
no ferocious wild animals will be on it
they will not be found there.
Those delivered from bondage will travel on it,
44:8 Don’t panic! Don’t be afraid!
Did I not tell you beforehand and decree it?
You are my witnesses! Is there any God but me?
There is no other sheltering rock;
33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king.
Rivers and wide streams will flow through it;
no war galley will enter;
no large ships will sail through.
