Judges 2:14
2:14 The Lord was furious with Israel and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. He turned them over to their enemies who lived around them. They could not withstand their enemies’ attacks.
Deuteronomy 29:20-28
29:20 The
Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger
will rage
against that man; all the curses
written in this scroll will fall upon him
and the
Lord will obliterate his name from memory.
29:21 The
Lord will single him out
for judgment
from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law.
29:22 The generation to come – your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places – will see
the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the
Lord has brought on it.
29:23 The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the
Lord destroyed in his intense anger.
29:24 Then all the nations will ask, “Why has the
Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger
all about?”
29:25 Then people will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of the
Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
29:26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.
29:27 That is why the
Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses
written in this scroll.
29:28 So the
Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.”
Deuteronomy 31:16-18
31:16 Then the
Lord said to Moses, “You are about to die,
and then these people will begin to prostitute themselves with the foreign gods of the land into which they
are going. They
will reject
me and break my covenant that I have made with them.
31:17 At that time
my anger will erupt against them
and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome
them
so that they
will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters
overcome us
because our
God is not among us
?’
31:18 But I will certainly
hide myself at that time because of all the wickedness they
will have done by turning to other gods.
Deuteronomy 32:16-22
32:16 They made him jealous with other gods,
they enraged him with abhorrent idols.
32:17 They sacrificed to demons, not God,
to gods they had not known;
to new gods who had recently come along,
gods your ancestors had not known about.
32:18 You have forgotten the Rock who fathered you,
and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.
A Word of Judgment
32:19 But the Lord took note and despised them
because his sons and daughters enraged him.
32:20 He said, “I will reject them,
I will see what will happen to them;
for they are a perverse generation,
children who show no loyalty.
32:21 They have made me jealous with false gods,
enraging me with their worthless gods;
so I will make them jealous with a people they do not recognize,
with a nation slow to learn I will enrage them.
32:22 For a fire has been kindled by my anger,
and it burns to lowest Sheol;
it consumes the earth and its produce,
and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
Joshua 23:15-16
23:15 But in the same way every faithful promise the
Lord your God made to you has been realized,
it is just as certain, if you disobey, that the
Lord will bring on you every judgment
until he destroys you from this good land which the
Lord your God gave you.
23:16 If you violate the covenantal laws of the
Lord your God which he commanded you to keep,
and follow, worship, and bow down to other gods,
the
Lord will be very angry with you and you will disappear
quickly from the good land which he gave to you.”
Psalms 74:1
Psalm 74
A well-written song by Asaph.
74:1 Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us?
Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
Nahum 1:2
God Takes Vengeance against His Enemies
1:2 The Lord is a zealous and avenging God;
the Lord is avenging and very angry.
The Lord takes vengeance against his foes;
he sustains his rage against his enemies.
Nahum 1:6
1:6 No one can withstand his indignation!
No one can resist his fierce anger!
His wrath is poured out like volcanic fire,
boulders are broken up as he approaches.
