Thematic Bible: Warnings against worldly fulness


Thematic Bible





They have become fat and sleek.
They have also excelled in evil matters.
They have not taken up cases,
such as the case of the fatherless, so they might prosper,
and they have not defended the rights of the needy.

Then Jeshurun became fat and rebelled—
you became fat, bloated, and gorged.
He abandoned the God who made him
and scorned the Rock of his salvation.

They have become hardened;
their mouths speak arrogantly.

Because you rejoice,
because you sing in triumph—
you who plundered My inheritance—
because you frolic like a young cow treading grain
and neigh like stallions,

Woe to you who are now full,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who are now laughing,
for you will mourn and weep.
