4:11 “At that time the people of Judah and Jerusalem
‘A scorching wind will sweep down
from the hilltops in the desert on
It will not be a gentle breeze
for winnowing the grain and blowing away the chaff.
5:4 I thought, “Surely it is only the ignorant poor who act this way.
They act like fools because they do not know what the Lord demands.
They do not know what their God requires of them.
10:2 The Lord says,
“Do not start following pagan religious practices.
Do not be in awe of signs that occur
even though the nations hold them in awe.
12:1 Lord, you have always been fair
whenever I have complained to you.
However, I would like to speak with you about the disposition of justice.
Why are wicked people successful?
Why do all dishonest people have such easy lives?
18:15 Yet my people have forgotten me
and offered sacrifices to worthless idols!
This makes them stumble along in the way they live
and leave the old reliable path of their fathers.
They have left them to walk in bypaths,
in roads that are not smooth and level.
31:21 I will say,
the road you took when you were carried off.
Mark off in your minds the landmarks.
Make a mental note of telltale signs marking the way back.
Return, my dear children of Israel.
Return to these cities of yours.
50:5 They will ask the way to Zion;
they will turn their faces toward it.
They will come
in a lasting covenant that will never be forgotten.
