47:13 You are tired out from listening to so much advice.
Let them take their stand –
the ones who see omens in the sky,
who gaze at the stars,
who make monthly predictions –
let them rescue you from the disaster that is about to overtake you!
2:36 Why do you constantly go about
changing your political allegiances?
You will get no help from Egypt
just as you got no help from Assyria.
9:5 One friend deceives another
and no one tells the truth.
These people have trained themselves
They do wrong and are unable to repent.
24:12 It has tried my patience;
yet its thick rot is not removed
Subject its rot to the fire!
2:13 Be sure of this! The Lord who commands armies has decreed:
The nations’ efforts will go up in smoke;
their exhausting work will be for nothing.
