Babylon » Empire of » Prophetic denunciations against
O daughter of Babylon, who is to be destroyed, happy shall he be who rewards thee as thou have served us. Happy shall he be who takes and dashes thy little ones against the rock.
Prepare ye slaughter for his sons for the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
Thus says LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring down all of them as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing. I am LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King. Thus says LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters, read more.

Calling » The reward for not calling on the lord
Thus says LORD, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters, who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lay down together; they shall not rise; they are extinct; they are quenched as a wick): Do not remember ye the former things, nor consider the things of old. read more.
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. The beasts of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen, the people whom I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise. Yet thou have not called upon me, O Jacob, but thou have been weary of me, O Israel. Thou have not brought me from thy sheep for burnt-offerings, nor have thou honored me with thy sacrifices. I have not burdened thee with offerings, nor wearied thee with frankincense. Thou have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices. But thou have burdened me with thy sins. Thou have wearied me with thine iniquities. I, even I, am he who blots out thy transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set thou forth [thy case] that thou may be justified. Thy first father sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I will profane the rulers of the sanctuary, and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

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.

When thou pass through the waters, I will be with thee, and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee. 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.

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.

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. Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.
