'Disaster' in the Bible
If an alarm sounds in a city, do people not fear? If disaster overtakes a city, is the Lord not responsible?
Do not seek Bethel! Do not visit Gilgal! Do not journey down to Beer Sheba! For the people of Gilgal will certainly be carried into exile; and Bethel will become a place where disaster abounds."
Disaster will be inescapable, as if a man ran from a lion only to meet a bear, then escaped into a house, leaned his hand against the wall, and was bitten by a poisonous snake.
You refuse to believe a day of disaster will come, but you establish a reign of violence.
Even when their enemies drive them into captivity, from there I will command the sword to kill them. I will not let them out of my sight; they will experience disaster, not prosperity."
All the sinners among my people will die by the sword -- the ones who say, 'Disaster will not come near, it will not confront us.'
