Forgetting » Those that forget the lord
But as for you who forsake Jehovah and forget my holy mountain, which spread a table for the God of Fortune (Babylonian diety) and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and you will all bend down for the slaughter! I called but you did not answer. I spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me. Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah says: My servants will eat, but you will go hungry. My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty. My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame! read more.
My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit. You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse. The Sovereign Lord Jehovah will put you to death, but to his servants he will give another name.

Can papyrus grow tall where there is no marsh? Can reeds thrive without water? While still growing and uncut, they wither more quickly than grass. Such is the destiny of all who forget God. The hope of the godless will perish. read more.
What he trusts in is fragile and what he relies on is like a spider's web. He leans on his web, but it gives way! He clings to it, but it does not hold. He is like a well-watered plant in the sunshine, spreading its shoots over the garden. It entwines its roots around a pile of rocks and looks for a place among the stones. When it is torn from its spot, that place disowns it and says: 'I never saw you.'

But God says to the wicked: How dare you quote my decrees and mouth my covenant! You hate discipline. You cast (throw) my words behind you. When you see a thief, you make friends with him. You keep company with people who commit adultery. read more.
You let your mouth speak evil. Your tongue plans deceit. You sit and talk against your own brother. You slander your own mother's son. When you did these things, I remained silent. That made you think I was like you. I will argue my point with you and lay it all out for you to see. Consider this, you who do not remember God. Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one to deliver.

They will ask for the way to Zion turning their faces in its direction. They will come to join themselves to Jehovah in an everlasting covenant that will not be forgotten. My people have become lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray. They have made them turn aside on the mountains. They have gone along from mountain to hill and have forgotten their resting place.
