“I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt; I will make you live in tents again as in the days of old.

The Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and due to a prophet Israel was preserved alive.

But I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt. Therefore, you must not acknowledge any God but me; except me there is no Savior.

Return, O Israel, to the Lord your God, for your sin has been your downfall!

How awful that day will be! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come as destruction from the Divine Destroyer.

“Yet even now,” the Lord says, “return to me with all your heart – with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Tear your hearts, not just your garments!”

Who knows? Perhaps he will be compassionate and grant a reprieve, and leave blessing in his wake – a meal offering and a drink offering for you to offer to the Lord your God!

Do not fear, my land! Rejoice and be glad, because the Lord has accomplished great things!

The sunlight will be turned to darkness and the moon to the color of blood, before the day of the Lord comes – that great and terrible day!

Lend your aid and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves to that place.” Bring down, O Lord, your warriors!

Crowds, great crowds are in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision!

I will remove Moab’s leader; I will kill all Moab’s officials with him.” The Lord has spoken!

I made some of your sons prophets and some of your young men Nazirites. Is this not true, you Israelites?” The Lord is speaking!

Bravehearted warriors will run away naked in that day.” The Lord is speaking!

A lion has roared! Who is not afraid? The sovereign Lord has spoken! Who can refuse to prophesy?

“They do not know how to do what is right.” (The Lord is speaking.) “They store up the spoils of destructive violence in their fortresses.

Don’t you realize the Lord’s day of judgment will bring darkness, not light – gloomy blackness, not bright light?

and I will drive you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord. He is called the God who commands armies!

Indeed, look! The Lord is giving the command. He will smash the large house to bits, and the small house into little pieces.

The Lord decided not to do this. The sovereign Lord said, “This will not happen either.”
