Condescension of God » Expostulates with backsliding israel
Produce your case, says LORD. Bring forth your strong reasons, says the King of Jacob. Let them bring forth, and declare to us what shall happen. Declare ye the former things, what they are, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them, or show us things to come. Declare the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods. Yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together. read more.

But now thus says LORD who created thee, O Jacob, and he who formed thee, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed thee. I have called thee by thy name, Thou are mine.

When thou walk through the fire, thou shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior.

Since thou have been precious in my sight, [and] honorable, and I have loved thee, therefore I will give men in thy stead, and peoples instead of thy life. Fear not, for I am with thee. I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Keep not back. Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the end of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made. Bring forth the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled.

Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

I was {manifested (LXX/NT)} by those who did not ask {for me (LXX/NT)}. I am found by those who did not seek me. I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called by my name.

who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places, who eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels, who say, Stand by thyself, do not come near to me, for I am holier than thou.

Yea, I will recompense into their bosom your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says LORD, [those] who have burned incense upon the mountains, and blasphemed me upon the hills.

And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lay down in, for my people who have sought me. But ye who forsake LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mingled wine to Destiny, I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter.

Behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be put to shame. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit. And ye shall leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and lord LORD will kill thee. And he will call his servants by another name, so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth, and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth.

And some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and will persecute from city to city, so that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom ye murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
