God has departed from me and won't answer me anymore, either by messages written by the hand of the prophets or by dreams. So I've summoned you to tell me what I should do."

In the morning you'll say, "I wish it were evening.' Yet in the evening you'll say, "I wish it were morning,' on account of what you'll dread and what you'll see.

Good understanding produces grace, but the lifestyle of the treacherous never changes.

There will be suffering and anguish for every human being who practices doing evil, for Jews first and for Greeks as well.

Wherever they went, the LORD worked against them to bring misfortune, just as the LORD had warned, and just as the LORD had promised them. As a result, they suffered greatly.

Watch! I'm about to carry out something new! And now it's springing up don't you recognize it? I'm making a way in the wilderness and paths in the desert.

You haven't brought me your sheep for a burnt offering, nor have you honored me with your sacrifices, nor have you made meal offerings for me yet I have not tired you about incense! You haven't bought me sweet cane with money, nor have you satisfied me with the fat of your sacrifices. You have only burdened me with your sins and made me tired with your iniquities. "I, I am the one who blots out your transgression for my own sake, and I'll remember your sins no more. Recount the brief! Let's argue the matter together; Present your case, so that you may be proved right. Your first ancestor sinned, and your mediators rebelled against me. So I'll disgrace the leaders of the Temple, and I'll consign Jacob to total destruction and Israel to contempt.

The wicked flee, though no one pursues, but the righteous are bold like a lion. When a land transgresses, it gains a succession of leaders, but with an understanding and knowledgeable man, its stability endures.
