Thematic Bible: Cruel and destructive
Thematic Bible
Assyria » As a power, was » Cruel and destructive

It is his intent to destroy
and to cut off many nations.
Babylon » As a power, was » Cruel and destructive
who destroyed its cities
and would not release the prisoners to return home?”
I profaned My possession,
and I placed them under your control.
You showed them no mercy;
you made your yoke very heavy on the elderly.
this is the Lord’s declaration—
you devastate the whole earth.
I will stretch out My hand against you,
roll you down from the cliffs,
and turn you into a charred mountain.
Look! I am raising up the Chaldeans, that bitter, impetuous nation that marches across the earth's open spaces to seize territories not its own. They are fierce and terrifying; their views of justice and sovereignty stem from themselves.
