Thematic Bible: In spirit


Thematic Bible




“So now hear this, lover of luxury,
who sits securely,
who says to herself,
‘I exist, and there is no one else.
I will never be a widow
or know the loss of children.’

“But they paid no attention and went away, one to his own farm, another to his business.

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion
and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria—
the notable people in this first of the nations,
those the house of Israel comes to.


We’ve had more than enough
scorn from the arrogant
and contempt from the proud.

And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps
and punish the men who settle down comfortably,
who say to themselves:
The Lord will not do good or evil.

Stand up, you complacent women;
listen to me.
Pay attention to what I say,
you overconfident daughters.
