Arrows » Illustrative » Of God's judgment
And he prepared to himself the instruments of death; he will work his arrows for those inflaming.
For thou wilt set them the shoulder among thine being left, thou wilt prepare against their face.
In my sending the evil arrows of famine upon them which were for destruction, which I shall send to destroy you: and I will add famine upon you, and I broke to you the staff of bread.
I will gather evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. Exhausted with hunger, consumed with burning, And bitter destruction: And I will send upon them the tooth of beasts, With the wrath of those crawlers of the dust The sword shall bereave without, And terror from the chambers, Also the youth, also the virgin, The suckling, with the man of gray hair. read more.
I have said I will blow them away, I will turn away their remembrance from man; Unless I shall fear the enemy's their adversaries shall dissemble, Lest they shall say, Our high hand And not Jehovah did all this For they a nation destroying counsels, And no understanding in them. Would they were wise! will they look at this? Will they discern to their latter part? How shall one chase a thousand; And two shall cause ten thousand to flee, If that their Rock had not sold them, And Jehovah delivered them up? For their rock not as our Rock, And our enemies judging. For their vine from the vine of Sodom, And from the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes the grapes of poverty, The clusters of bitterness to them. Their wine the wrath of dragons, And the fierce head of asps. Is not this laid up with me, Sealed up in my treasuries? To me vengeance and requital; At the time their foot shall waver: For the day of their destruction is near, And he hastened things prepared for them For Jehovah will judge his people, And upon his servants will he have compassion; When he shall see that the hand has failed, And nothing detained and left And he said, Where their gods, The rock they trusted in it? Whose fat of their sacrifices they shall eat; They shall drink the wine of their libations They shall rise up, and they shall succor you, It shall be for you protection. See ye now, that I, I am he, And no God with me: I will kill, and I will preserve alive; I struck through and through, and I will heal; And none takes away out of my hand. For I will lift up my hand to the heavens, And I said, I live forever. If I sharpened the lightning of my sword, And my hand shall lay hold upon judgment, I will turn back vengeance to mine adversaries, And to those hating me I will requite, I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall eat flesh, From the blood of the wounded and the captivity, From the head of the enemy's leaders.
