Jude 1:16
1:16 These people are grumblers and
fault-finders who go
wherever their desires lead them,
and they give bombastic speeches,
enchanting folks
for their own gain.
Jude 1:2
1:2 May mercy, peace, and love be lavished on you!
Jude 1:23
1:23 save
others by snatching them out of the fire; have mercy
on others, coupled with a fear of God,
hating even the clothes stained
by the flesh.
Hosea 11:8
The Divine Dilemma: Judgment or Mercy?
11:8 How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I treat you like Admah?
How can I make you like Zeboiim?
I have had a change of heart!
All my tender compassions are aroused!
Luke 19:41-44
Jesus Weeps for Jerusalem under Judgment
19:41 Now when Jesus approached and saw the city, he wept over it,
19:42 saying, “If you had only known on this day, even you, the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.
19:43 For the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and surround you and close in on you from every side.
19:44 They will demolish you – you and your children within your walls – and they will not leave within you one stone on top of another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation from God.”
