Thematic Bible: Special judgments inflicted


Thematic Bible



Therefore, Naaman’s skin disease will cling to you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence diseased—white as snow.


Uzziah, with a firepan in his hand to offer incense, was enraged. But when he became enraged with the priests, in the presence of the priests in the Lord’s temple beside the altar of incense, a skin disease broke out on his forehead.

The Lord’s hand was heavy on the people of Ashdod, terrorizing and afflicting the people of Ashdod and its territory with tumors.

So Aaron took his firepan as Moses had ordered, ran into the middle of the assembly, and saw that the plague had begun among the people. After he added incense, he made atonement for the people.

So they took furnace soot and stood before Pharaoh. Moses threw it toward heaven, and it became festering boils on man and beast.

The Lord afflicted the king, and he had a serious skin disease until the day of his death. He lived in a separate house, while Jotham, the king’s son, was over the household governing the people of the land.

Jeroboam no longer retained his power during Abijah’s reign; ultimately, the Lord struck him and he died.

After all these things, the Lord afflicted him in his intestines with an incurable disease.


“At that time”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of her officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the residents of Jerusalem will be brought out of their graves.

He broke the sacred pillars into pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, then filled their places with human bones.

Then they will be filled with terror—
terror like no other
because God will scatter
the bones of those who besiege you.
You will put them to shame,
for God has rejected them.

I will lay the corpses of the Israelites in front of their idols and scatter your bones around your altars.
