General references

This is the plan prepared
for the whole earth,
and this is the hand stretched out
against all the nations.

The Lord said, “It is because they abandoned My instruction that I set in front of them and did not obey My voice or walk according to it.

For I will spread My terror
in the land of the living,
so Pharaoh and all his hordes
will be laid to rest among the uncircumcised,
with those slain by the sword.”
This is the declaration of the Lord God.
