Thematic Bible: Often destroyed


Thematic Bible



"You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because locusts will devour it. You will plant and cultivate vineyards but not drink the wine or gather [the grapes], because worms will eat them.


Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: “Look, My anger—My burning wrath—is about to be poured out on this place, on man and beast, on the tree of the field, and on the produce of the land. My wrath will burn and not be quenched.”


therefore I am about to give you to the people of the east as a possession. They will set up their encampments and pitch their tents among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk.


So on your account,
the skies have withheld the dew
and the land its crops.


The grapevine is dried up,
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate, the date palm, and the apple
all the trees of the orchard—have withered.
Indeed, human joy has dried up.
