2:26 Just as a thief has to suffer dishonor when he is caught,
so the people of Israel
So will their kings and officials,
their priests and their prophets.
2:27 They say to a wooden idol,
They say to a stone image, ‘You gave birth to me.’
Yes, they have turned away from me instead of turning to me.
Yet when they are in trouble, they say, ‘Come and save us!’
97:7 All who worship idols are ashamed,
those who boast about worthless idols.
All the gods bow down before him.
45:16 They will all be ashamed and embarrassed;
those who fashion idols will all be humiliated.
45:17 Israel will be delivered once and for all by the Lord;
you will never again be ashamed or humiliated.
65:11 But as for you who abandon the Lord
and forget about worshiping at
who prepare a feast for the god called ‘Fortune,’
and fill up wine jugs for the god called ‘Destiny’
65:12 I predestine you to die by the sword,
all of you will kneel down at the slaughtering block,
because I called to you, and you did not respond,
I spoke and you did not listen.
You did evil before me;
you chose to do what displeases me.”
65:13 So this is what the sovereign Lord says:
“Look, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry!
Look, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty!
Look, my servants will rejoice, but you will be humiliated!
65:14 Look, my servants will shout for joy as happiness fills their hearts!
But you will cry out as sorrow fills your hearts;
you will wail because your spirits will be crushed.
66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,
you who respect what he has to say!
Your countrymen,
and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,
say, “May the Lord be glorified,
then we will witness your joy.”
But they will be put to shame.
12:2 Many of those who sleep
in the dusty ground will awake –
some to everlasting life,
and others to shame and everlasting abhorrence.
