Thematic Bible: Glory of man, transient


Thematic Bible






Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat
and opens wide its enormous jaws,
and down go Zion’s dignitaries, her masses,
her crowds, and those who carouse in her!

For the Lord said this to me: “Within one year, as a hired worker counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.

“‘Son of man, know that on the day I take their stronghold from them, their pride and joy, the delight of their eyes and the longing of their hearts, as well as their sons and daughters,

The more they multiplied,
the more they sinned against Me.
I will change their honor into disgrace.

Listen to the wail of the shepherds,
for their glory is destroyed.
Listen to the roar of young lions,
for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
