Did not the one who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us in the womb?

The sea is his, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

The one who oppresses the poor insults his Creator, but whoever shows favor to the needy honors him.

The one who mocks the poor insults his Creator; whoever rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.

But Jeshurun became fat and kicked, you got fat, thick, and stuffed! Then he deserted the God who made him, and treated the Rock who saved him with contempt.

At that time men will trust in their creator; they will depend on the Holy One of Israel.

You will surely wear out, both you and these people who are with you, for this is too heavy a burden for you; you are not able to do it by yourself.

A man uses it to make a fire; he takes some of it and warms himself. Yes, he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Then he makes a god and worships it; he makes an idol and bows down to it.

That idol was made by a workman – it is not God! The calf idol of Samaria will be broken to bits.

Israel has forgotten his Maker and built royal palaces, and Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will send fire on their cities; it will consume their royal citadels.

When its branches get brittle, they break; women come and use them for kindling. For these people lack understanding, therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them; the one who formed them has no mercy on them.
