1:5 “Before I formed you in your mother’s womb
Before you were born I set you apart.
I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”
2:15 Like lions his enemies roar victoriously over him;
they raise their voices in triumph.
They have laid his land waste;
his cities have been burned down and deserted.
12:7 “I will abandon my nation.
I will forsake the people I call my own.
I will turn my beloved people
over to the power
12:8 The people I call my own
like a lion
They have roared defiantly
So I will treat them as though I hate them.
13:20 Then I said,
“Look up, Jerusalem,
the enemy
Where now is the flock of people that were entrusted to your care?
Where now are the ‘sheep’ that you take such pride in?
15:13 I will give away your wealth and your treasures as plunder.
I will give it away free of charge for the sins you have committed throughout your land.
17:3 and on the mountains and in the fields.
I will give your wealth and all your treasures away as plunder.
I will give it away as the price
17:10 I, the Lord, probe into people’s minds.
I examine people’s hearts.
I deal with each person according to how he has behaved.
I give them what they deserve based on what they have done.
22:20 People of Jerusalem,
Go to the land of Bashan and cry out loudly.
Cry out in mourning from the mountains of Moab.
For your allies
48:9 Set up a gravestone for Moab,
for it will certainly be laid in ruins!
Its cities will be laid waste
and become uninhabited.”
