Thematic Bible: Why people are destroyed


Thematic Bible



The LORD saw that human evil was growing more and more throughout the earth, with every inclination of people's thoughts becoming only evil on a continuous basis. Then the LORD regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and he was deeply grieved about that. So the LORD said, "I will annihilate these human beings whom I've created from the earth, including people, animals, crawling things, and flying creatures, because I'm grieving that I made them."

Therefore my people go into exile because they lack understanding; my honored men go hungry, and the crowd is parched with thirst.

Moab will be destroyed as a nation because he exalted himself against the LORD.

My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge of me. Because you rejected that knowledge, I will reject you as a priest for me. Since you forget the Law of your God, I will also forget your children.
