There are many valid variations concerning what believers consider as prophetic. The following is a guideline of the principles I have attempted to use consistently. You may well wish to put some in a different section or add some that I have omitted.
Some prophecies are promises and may be conditional and are included. e.g. "If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you." Exd 1526 or "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2Co 129
Some laws might be considered prophetic in that disobedience and sin have consequences; they are not included. e.g. But if a man who is ceremonially clean and not on a journey fails to celebrate the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not present the Lord's offering at the appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin. Num 913
Prophecies directed to Hebrew individuals or groups are included under Israel. e.g. "Because you did not trust in me enough to honour me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them." Num 2012
Prophecies that are repeated instructions are included if they have further details. e.g. Hear, O Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go well with you and that you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your fathers, promised you. Deut 63
Some preaching is more instructive than prophetic. e.g. "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near." Math 32 417 The second part of this is prophetic - the kingdom of heaven was near! It is thus included.
Much Scripture is more encouragement than prophecy and is not included. e.g. "The Lord disciplines those he loves." Heb 126
Some prayers are also prophetic. e.g. The prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again." 1Kgs 1836,37 They may be in the form of facts, promises, foretelling or warnings.
There are many examples of false prophets in Scripture; these are obviously not included!
If the same prophecy is recorded in more than one gospel, they are combined and only count as one prophecy. (see "Combined Gospels").
Some prophecies refer to more than one event. e.g. Is 611-3 These are separated in the sections 'fulfilled' and 'await fulfilment' and each are numerically counted as a prophecy.
Nearly all the quotes in each section are presented in Biblical order.
The following Tables show 868 Biblical prophecies. Of these the Sovereign Lord has already fulfilled 662. This must encourage us to know that he will faithfully fulfill both the 117 listed prophecies that await fulfilment and the 89 that have only been partially fulfilled.

Almighty God always fulfills what he has promised. He is completely faithful and his power is without limit.
The first and most important section of prophecies fulfilled concern the truth that in the eternal plan of God, Jesus had to suffer. There is no other way that sinful men could be forgiven. Only the sacrifice of the perfect Son of God could redeem us and gain the required propitiation for our sins.

When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the Lord was merciful to them.

| Num 207,8 |
The Lord said to Moses, "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink." |
| Deut 151-6 |
At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts. ... there should be no poor among you, ... For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you. |
| Deut 1616 |

When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you and have taken possession of it and settled in it, and you say, "Let us set a king over us like all the nations around us," be sure to appoint over you the king the Lord your God chooses. ...

| 1Sam 151-3 |
Samuel said to Saul, "I am the one the Lord sent to anoint you king over his people Israel; so listen now to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’ " |

David inquired of the Lord, "Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?" The Lord answered him, "Go, for I will surely hand the Philistines over to you." |
| 2Sa 523,24 |
So David inquired of the Lord, and he answered, "Do not go straight up, but circle around behind them and attack them in front of the balsam trees.

Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord gives rain on the land.’ " She went away and did as Elijah had told her.

The Lord said to him, "Go back the way you came, and go to the Desert of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael king over Aram. Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet. Jehu will put to death any who escape the sword of Hazael, and Elisha will put to death any who escape the sword of Jehu.

While the harpist was playing, the hand of the Lord came upon Elisha and he said, "This is what the Lord says: Make this valley full of ditches. For this is what the Lord says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink.

When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor. I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.’ " |

This is what the Lord said to me: "Go and buy a linen belt and put it around your waist, but do not let it touch water." ...
Then the word of the Lord came to me a second time: "Take the belt you bought and are wearing around your waist, and go now to Perath and hide it there in a crevice in the rocks." ...
Many days later the Lord said to me, "Go now to Perath and get the belt I told you to hide there." ...
Then the word of the Lord came to me: "This is what the Lord says: 'In the same way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. These wicked people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts and go after other gods to serve and worship them, will be like this belt–completely useless! For as a belt is bound around a man’s waist, so I bound the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to me,’ declares the Lord, 'to be my people for my renown and praise and honour. But they have not listened.’ " |
| Jer 1411,12 |

| Jer 181-11 |
This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message. So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him. Then the word of the Lord came to me: "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the Lord. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. ... Now therefore say to the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, 'This is what the Lord says: Look! I am preparing a disaster for you and devising a plan against you. So turn from your evil ways, each one of you, and reform your ways and your actions.’" |
| Jer 191-11 |
This is what the Lord says: "Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. ...
There proclaim the words I tell you, and say, 'Hear the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Listen! I am going to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears of it tingle. For they have forsaken me and made this a place of foreign gods. ... They have built the high places of Baal to burn their sons in the fire as offerings to Baal–something I did not command or mention, nor did it enter my mind. So beware, the days are coming, declares the Lord, ... 'In this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, ... I will devastate this city and make it an object of scorn; ... I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh during the stress of the siege imposed on them by the enemies who seek their lives."Then break the jar while those who go with you are watching, and say to them, 'This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will smash this nation and this city just as this potter’s jar is smashed and cannot be repaired.’ " |

The word of the Lord came to me: Hanamel son of Shallum your uncle is going to come to you and say, 'Buy my field at Anathoth, because as nearest relative it is your right and duty to buy it.’ ... I knew that this was the word of the Lord; so I bought the field at Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel and weighed out for him seventeen shekels of silver. I signed and sealed the deed, had it witnessed. ... In their presence I gave Baruch these instructions: 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Take these documents, both the sealed and unsealed copies of the deed of purchase, and put them in a clay jar so they will last a long time. For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in this land.’...
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: "I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? Therefore, this is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the Babylonians and to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who will capture it. ... but this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I will surely gather them from all the lands where I banish them in my furious anger and great wrath; I will bring them back to this place and let them live in safety. They will be my people, and I will be their God. ... Once more fields will be bought in this land of which you say, 'It is a desolate waste, without men or animals, for it has been handed over to the Babylonians.’ Fields will be bought for silver, and deeds will be signed, sealed and witnessed ... because I will restore their fortunes," declares the Lord. |

| Ezek 2416-24 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, with one blow I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes. Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears. Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban fastened and your sandals on your feet; do not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food [of mourners]." ... This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary–the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes, the object of your affection. The sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword. And you will do as I have done. You will not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food [of mourners]. You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep but will waste away because of your sins and groan among yourselves. Ezekiel will be a sign to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord.’ |
| Gen 171,2 |

I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son." |
| Gen 1912,13 |
The two men said to Lot, "Do you have anyone else here–sons-in-law, sons or daughters, or anyone else in the city who belongs to you? Get them out of here, because we are going to destroy this place. The outcry to the Lord against its people is so great that he has sent us to destroy it." |
| Gen 203-7 |
But God came to Abimelech in a dream one night and said to him, "You are as good as dead because of the woman you have taken; she is a married woman." ... Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all yours will die." |

| Gen 4128-32 |
It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. Seven years of great abundance are coming throughout the land of Egypt, but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon. |
| Gen 463,4 |
"I am God, the God of your father," he said. "Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes." |

Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, 'The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go. And I will make the Egyptians favourably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed. |
| Exd 73-5 |
But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it. |
| Exd 111,2 |
Now the Lord had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbours for articles of silver and gold." |
| Exd 114-7 |
This is what the Lord says: "About midnight I will go throughout Egypt. Every firstborn son in Egypt will die ...

Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel." |
| Exd 143 |
Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and he will pursue them. But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. So the Israelites did this. |
| Exd 1413,14 |
Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." |
| Exd 1416-18 |
Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.

The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen. |
| Exd 1426-28 |
Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen." Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea. The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen–the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. |
| Exd 1611,12 |
The Lord said to Moses, "I have heard the grumbling of the Israelites. Tell them, 'At twilight you will eat meat, and in the morning you will be filled with bread. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.’ " |

| Num 1537-40 |
The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'Throughout the generations to come you are to make tassels on the corners of your garments, with a blue cord on each tassel.

Then you will remember to obey all my commands and will be consecrated to your God." |
| Num 2133-35 |
Og king of Bashan and his whole army marched out to meet them in battle at Edrei. The Lord said to Moses, "Do not be afraid of him, for I have handed him over to you, with his whole army and his land. Do to him what you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon." So they struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army, leaving them no survivors. And they took possession of his land. |
| Num 2417-22 |
"I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the sons of Sheth. Edom will be conquered; Seir, his enemy, will be conquered, but Israel will grow strong. A ruler will come out of Jacob and destroy the survivors of the city." Balaam’s Final Oracles Then Balaam saw Amalek and uttered his oracle: "Amalek was first among the nations, but he will come to ruin at last."

Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Then the Lord said to Joshua, "See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets. When you hear them sound a long blast on the trumpets, have all the people give a loud shout; then the wall of the city will collapse and the people will go up, every man straight in." |

| Josh 116,23 |
The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them (Hazor and large coalition of kings), because by this time tomorrow I will hand all of them over to Israel, slain.

When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, "The Lord is with you, mighty warrior." ... The Lord turned to him and said, "Go in the strength you have and save Israel out of Midian’s hand. Am I not sending you?" ... The Lord answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together."... The Lord said to Gideon, "You have too many men for me to deliver Midian into their hands." ... But the Lord said to Gideon, "There are still too many men." ... The Lord said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands." |

But Ruth replied, "Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if anything but death separates you and me." |
| Ruth 212 |
Boaz replied, "May the Lord repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge." |
| 1Sam106-9 |
The Spirit of the Lord will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person. Once these signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. "Go down ahead of me to Gilgal. I will surely come down to you to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, but you must wait seven days until I come to you and tell you what you are to do." As Saul turned to leave Samuel, God changed Saul’s heart, and all these signs were fulfilled that day. |

David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will hand you over to me, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. Today I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands." |
| 1Sa 2222,23 |
Then David said to Abiathar: "That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your father’s whole family. Stay with me; don’t be afraid; the man who is seeking your life is seeking mine also. You will be safe with me." |

At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again." Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. |
| 1Kgs 1841,44 |
And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain." ... The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’ " |
| 1Kgs 2013 |

The man of God came up and told the king of Israel, "This is what the Lord says: 'Because the Arameans think the Lord is a god of the hills and not a god of the valleys, I will deliver this vast army into your hands, and you will know that I am the Lord.’ " |
| 1Kgs 2035,36 |
By the word of the Lord one of the sons of the prophets said to his companion, "Strike me with your weapon," but the man refused.
So the prophet said, "Because you have not obeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you." And after the man went away, a lion found him and killed him. |

Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: "Go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who rules in Samaria. He is now in Naboth’s vineyard, where he has gone to take possession of it. Say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: Have you not murdered a man and seized his property?’ Then say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: In the place where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood, dogs will lick up your blood–yes, yours!’ " Ahab said to Elijah, "So you have found me, my enemy!" "I have found you," he answered, "because you have sold yourself to do evil in the eyes of the Lord. 'I am going to bring disaster on you. I will consume your descendants and cut off from Ahab every last male in Israel–slave or free. I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked me to anger and have caused Israel to sin.’ "And also concerning Jezebel the Lord says: 'Dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’" |
| 1Kgs 2128,29 |
Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite: "Have you noticed how Ahab has humbled himself before me? Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son." |

Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, "This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending men to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!" |

"What can be done for her?" Elisha asked. Gehazi said, "Well, she has no son and her husband is old." Then Elisha said, "Call her." So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. "About this time next year," Elisha said, "you will hold a son in your arms." "No, my lord," she objected. "Don’t mislead your servant, O man of God!"
But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her. |

Elisha said, "Get a bow and some arrows," and he did so. "Take the bow in your hands," he said to the king of Israel. When he had taken it, Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands. "Open the east window," he said, and he opened it. "Shoot!" Elisha said, and he shot. "The Lord’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram!" Elisha declared. "You will completely destroy the Arameans at Aphek." Then he said, "Take the arrows," and the king took them. Elisha told him, "Strike the ground." He struck it three times and stopped. The man of God was angry with him and said, "You should have struck the ground five or six times; then you would have defeated Aram and completely destroyed it. But now you will defeat it only three times." |

Therefore this is what the Lord says concerning the king of Assyria:
"He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow here. He will not come before it with shield or build a siege ramp against it. By the way that he came he will return; he will not enter this city, declares the Lord. I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant." That night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death a hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the Assyrian camp. |

Nevertheless, the Lord did not turn away from the heat of his fierce anger, which burned against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke him to anger.

This is what the Lord says to you: 'Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pas of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you.’ " |

The ships were wrecked and were not able to set sail to trade. |

Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet, which said: "This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: 'You have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or of Asa king of Judah. But you have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and you have led Judah and the people of Jerusalem to prostitute themselves, just as the house of Ahab did. You have also murdered your own brothers, members of your father’s house, men who were better than you. So now the Lord is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives and everything that is yours, with a heavy blow. You yourself will be very ill with a lingering disease of the bowels." |

"Woe to the obstinate children," declares the Lord, "to those who carry out plans that are not mine, forming an alliance, but not by my Spirit, heaping sin upon sin; who go down to Egypt without consulting me; who look for help to Pharaoh’s protection, to Egypt’s shade for refuge. But Pharaoh’s protection will be to your shame. |

"The house of Israel and the house of Judah have been utterly unfaithful to me," declares the Lord. They have lied about the Lord; they said, "He will do nothing! No harm will come to us; we will never see sword or famine." ... Therefore this is what the Lord God Almighty says: "Because the people have spoken these words,
I will make my words in your mouth a fire and these people the wood it consumes. O house of Israel," declares the Lord, "I am bringing a distant nation against you– an ancient and enduring nation ... they will devour ... With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust. Yet even in those days," declares the Lord, "I will not destroy you completely." |
| Jer 622,23 |
This is what the Lord says: "Look, an army is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is being stirred up from the ends of the earth.

The next day, when Pashhur released him from the stocks, Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord’s name for you is not Pashhur, but Magor-Missabib. For this is what the Lord says: 'I will make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends; with your own eyes you will see them fall by the sword of their enemies. I will hand all Judah over to the king of Babylon, who will carry them away to Babylon or put them to the sword. I will hand over to their enemies all the wealth of this city–all its products, all its valuables and all the treasures of the kings of Judah. They will take it away as plunder and carry it off to Babylon. And you, Pashhur, and all who live in your house will go into exile to Babylon. There you will die and be buried, you and all your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.’ " |
| Jer 212-9 |
They said: "Inquire now of the Lord for us because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the Lord will perform wonders for us as in times past so that he will withdraw from us." But Jeremiah answered them, "Tell Zedekiah, 'This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I am about to turn against you the weapons of war that are in your hands, which you are using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonians who are outside the wall besieging you. And I will gather them inside this city. I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and a mighty arm in anger and fury and great wrath. I will strike down those who live in this city–both men and animals–and they will die of a terrible plague. After that, declares the Lord, I will hand over Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials and the people in this city who survive the plague, sword and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to their enemies who seek their lives. He will put them to the sword; he will show them no mercy or pity or compassion.’ Furthermore, tell the people, 'This is what the Lord says: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death. Whoever stays in this city will die by the sword, famine or plague. But whoever goes out and surrenders to the Babylonians who are besieging you will live; he will escape with his life." |
| Jer 225-13 |
But if you do not obey these commands, declares the Lord, I swear by myself that this palace will become a ruin.’ ... People from many nations will pass by this city and will ask one another, 'Why has the Lord done such a thing to this great city?’ And the answer will be: 'Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and have worshipped and served other gods.’ ... For this is what the Lord says about Shallum son of Josiah, he will die in the place where they have led him captive; he will not see this land again." "Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, his upper rooms by injustice, making his countrymen work for nothing." |
| Jer 2218,19 |
Therefore this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: "They will not mourn for him: ... He will have the burial of a donkey–dragged away and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem." |

"As surely as I live," declares the Lord, "even if you, Jehoiachin son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on my right hand, I would still pull you off. I will hand you over to those who seek your life, those you fear–to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to the Babylonians. I will hurl you and the mother who gave you birth into another country, where neither of you was born, and there you both will die. You will never come back to the land you long to return to." |
| Jer 241-10 |
The Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the Lord. One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early; the otr basket had very poor figs, so bad they could not be eaten. Then the Lord asked me, "What do you see, Jeremiah?" "Figs," I answered. "The good ones are very good, but the poor ones are so bad they cannot be eaten." Then the word of the Lord came to me: "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: 'Like these good figs, I regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I sent away from this place to the land of the Babylonians. My eyes will watch over them for their good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up and not tear them down; I will plant them and not uproot them. I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. 'But like the poor figs, which are so bad they cannot be eaten,’ says the Lord, 'so will I deal with Zedekiah king of Judah, his officials and the survivors from Jerusalem, whether they remain in this land or live in Egypt. I will make them abhorrt and an offense to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach and a byword, an object of ridicule and cursing, wherever I banish them. I will send the sword, famine and plague against them until they are destroyed from the land I gave to them and their fathers.’ " |
| Jer 258-12 |
Therefore the Lord Almighty says this: "Because you have not listened to my words, I will summon all the peoples of the north and my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon," declares the Lord, "and I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and against all the surrounding nations. I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares the Lord, "and will make it desolate forever." |
| Jer 272-7 |
This is what the Lord said to me: "Make a yoke out of straps and crossbars and put it on your neck. Then send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. Give them a message for their masters and say, 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Tell this to your masters: With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please. Now I will hand all your countries over to my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him. All nations will serve him." |
| Jer 2712-15 |
I gave the same message to Zedekiah king of Judah. I said, "Bow your neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and you will live. Why will you and your people die by the sword, famine and plague with which the Lord has threatened any nation that will not serve the king of Babylon? Do not listen to the words of the prophets who say to you, 'You will not serve the king of Babylon,’ for they are prophesying lies to you. 'I have not sent them,’ declares the Lord. 'They are prophesying lies in my name. Therefore, I will banish you and you will perish, both you and the prophets who prophesy to you.’ " |
| Jer 2721,22 |
"This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about the things that are left in the house of the Lord and in the palace of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem: 'They will be taken to Babylon and there they will remain until the day I come for them,’ declares the Lord. 'Then I will bring them back and restore them to this place.’ " |
| Jer 2812-17 |
Shortly after the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: "Go and tell Hananiah, 'This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.’ " Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. Therefore, this is what the Lord says: 'I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord.’ " In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died. |
| Jer 2931,32 |
This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: "Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has led you to believe a lie, this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people," declares the Lord, "because he has preached rebellion against me.’ " |
| Jer 342-5 |
"This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Go to Zedekiah king of Judah and tell him, 'This is what the Lord says: I am about to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down. You will not escape from his grasp but will surely be captured and handed over to him. You will see the king of Babylon with your own eyes, and he will speak with you face to face. And you will go to Babylon.'Yet hear the promise of the Lord, O Zedekiah king of Judah. This is what the Lord says concerning you: You will not die by the sword; you will die peacefully." |
| Jer 3421,22 |
I will hand Zedekiah king of Judah and his officials over to their enemies who seek their lives, to the army of the king of Babylon, which has withdrawn from you. I am going to give the order, declares the Lord, and I will bring them back to this city. They will fight against it, take it and burn it down. And I will lay waste the towns of Judah so no one can live there. |
| Jer 376-9 |
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet: "This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: Tell the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of me, 'Pharaoh’s army, which has marched out to support you, will go back to its own land, to Egypt. Then the Babylonians will return and attack this city; they will capture it and burn it down.’ This is what the Lord says: Do not deceive yourselves, thinking, 'The Babylonians will surely leave us.’ They will not!" |
| Jer 3717 |
Then King Zedekiah sent for him and had him brought to the palace, where he asked him privately, "Is there any word from the Lord?" "Yes," Jeremiah replied, "you will be handed over to the king of Babylon." |
| Jer 3915-18 |
The word of the Lord came to him: "Go and tell Ebed-Melech the Cushite, 'This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to fulfill my words against this city through disaster, not prosperity. At that time they will be fulfilled before your eyes. But I will rescue you on that day, declares the Lord; you will not be handed over to those you fear. I will save you; you will not fall by the sword but will escape with your life, because you trust in me, declares the Lord.’ " |

Jer 4412,13 |
Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you now fear. Do not be afraid of him, declares the Lord, for I am with you and will save you and deliver you from his hands. I will show you compassion so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to your land.’ "However, if you say, 'We will not stay in this land,’ and so disobey the Lord your God, and if you say, 'No, we will go and live in Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the trumpet or be hungry for bread,’ then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'If you are determined to go to Egypt and you do go to settle there, then the sword you fear will overtake you there, and the famine you dread will follow you into Egypt, and there you will die. Indeed, all who are determined to go to Egypt to settle there will die by the sword, famine and plague." |

"You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." ... Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. ... the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate. ... The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the Lord upon me. |
| Ezek324-27 |
Then the Spirit came into me ... you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people. I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house. But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says’. |
| Ezek 41-3 |
Now, son of man, take a clay tablet, put it in front of you and draw the city of Jerusalem on it. Then lay siege to it: Erect siege works against it, build a ramp up to it, set up camps against it and put battering rams around it. Then take an iron pan, place it as an iron wall between you and the city and turn your face toward it. It will be under siege, and you shall besiege it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel. |
| Ezek 416 |
He then said to me: "Son of man, I will cut off the supply of food in Jerusalem." |
| Ezek 51-4 |
Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber’s razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair. When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair with fire inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind. For I will pursue them with drawn sword. But take a few strands of hair and tuck them away in the folds of your garment. Again, take a few of these and throw them into the fire and burn them up. A fire will spread from there to the whole house of Israel. |
Ezek 93
Ezek 1018,19
Ezek 1122,23 |
Now the glory of the God of Israel went up from above the cherubim, where it had been, and moved to the threshold of the temple. ... Then the glory of the Lord departed from over the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim. While I watched, the cherubim spread their wings and rose from the ground, and as they went, the wheels went with them. They stopped at the entrance to the east gate of the Lord’s house, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them. ... Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them. The glory of the Lord went up from within the city and stopped above the mountain east of it. |
| Ezek 121-11 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people.
Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings for exile and in the daytime, as they watch, set out and go from where you are to another place. Perhaps they will understand," ... 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and the whole house of Israel who are there.’ Say to them, 'I am a sign to you.’ "As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile as captives." |
| Ezek 131,8,9 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel ... 'Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because of your false words and lying visions, I am against you, declares the Sovereign Lord. My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will not belong to the council of my people or be listed in the records of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign Lord." |
| Ezek 1716-20 |
"s surely as I live," declares the Sovereign Lord, "he shall die in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke. Pharaoh with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, ... he shall not escape. ... Therefore I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment upon him there because he was unfaithful to me." |
| Ezek 2230,31 |
"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger, bringing down on their own heads all they have done," declares the Sovereign Lord. |
| Dan 422-26 |
You, O king, are that tree! You have become great and strong; your greatness has grown until it reaches the sky, and your dominion extends to distant parts of the earth. You, O king, saw a messenger, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, 'Cut down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump, bound with iron and bronze, in the grass of the field, while its roots remain in the ground. Let him be drenched with the dew of heaven; let him live like the wild animals, until seven times pass by for him.’ This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree the Most High has issued against my lord the king: You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes. The command to leave the stump of the tree with its roots means that your kingdom will be restored to you when you acknowledge that Heaven rules. |
| Dan 522-28 |
But you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this. Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honour the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways. Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription. This is the inscription that was written: mene, mene, tekel, parsin. This is what these words mean: Mene: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end. Tekel: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting. Peres: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. |
| Dan 111,2 |
And in the first year of Darius the Mede ... I tell you the truth: Three more kings will appear in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. When he has gained power by his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. ...
[There follows a detailed prophecy of the next 400 years from Cambyses to Antiochus IV which was all fulfilled.] |
| Hos 14,5 |
Then the Lord said to Hosea, "Call him Jezreel, because I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the massacre at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel. In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel." |
| Hos 16,7 |
Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. Then the Lord said to Hosea, "Call her Lo-Ruhamah, for I will no longer show love to the house of Israel, that I should at all forgive them. Yet I will show love to the house of Judah; and I will save them–not by bow, sword or battle, or by horses and horsemen, but by the Lord their God." |
| Hos 18,9 |
After she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah, Gomer had another son. Then the Lord said, "Call him Lo-Ammi, for you are not my people, and I am not your God" |
| Hos 21-13 |
"Say of your brothers, 'My people,’ and of your sisters, 'My loved one.’ "Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adulterous look from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts. Otherwise I will strip her naked ... I will make her like a desert ... I will not show my love to her children, because they are the children of adultery. Their mother has been unfaithful and has conceived them in disgrace. ... I will wall her in so that she cannot find her way. She will chase after her lovers but not catch them. ... Then she will say, 'I will go back to my husband as at first, for then I was better off than now.’ ... So now I will expose her lewdness, ... I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; ... I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewellery, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot," declares the Lord. |
| Hos 513-15 |
Ephraim turned to Assyria, and sent to the great king for help. But he is not able to cure you, not able to heal your sores. For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a great lion to Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away; I will carry them off, with no one to rescue them. Then I will go back to my place until they admit their guilt.
And they will seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me." |
| Hos 71,2 |
Whenever I would heal Israel, the sins of Ephraim are exposed and the crimes of Samaria revealed. They practice deceit, thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets; but they do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf them; they are always before me. |
| Hos 711-16 |
Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless–now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria. When they go, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down like birds of the air. When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them. Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak lies against me. They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail upon their beds. ... Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent words.For this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt. |
| Hos 139 |
You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against me, against your helper. |
| Joel 12-15 |
Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; ... Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! ... A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, ... Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; ... Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; ... Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly ... and cry out to the Lord. Alas for that day! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
| Joel 21,10,11 |
Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy hill. Let all who live in the land tremble, for the day of the Lord is coming. It is close at hand. ... Before them the earth shakes, the sky trembles,
the sun and moon are darkened, and the stars no longer shine. The Lord thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number, and mighty are those who obey his command. The day of the Lord is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it? |
| Joel 218 |
Then the Lord will be jealous for his land and take pity on his people. |
| Joel 228-32 |
And afterward, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood
before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as the Lord has said, among the survivors whom the Lord calls. |
| Amos 516,17 |
Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says: "There will be wailing in all the streets and cries of anguish in every public square. The farmers will be summoned to weep and the mourners to wail. There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass through your midst," says the Lord. |
| Amos 77-9 |
This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand. And the Lord asked me, "What do you see, Amos?" "A plumb line," I replied. Then the Lord said, "Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer. The high places of Isaac will be destroyed and the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam." |
| Amos 715-17 |
The Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ Now then, hear the word of the Lord. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and stop preaching against the house of Isaac.’ Therefore this is what the Lord says: "Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And Israel will certainly go into exile, away from their native land." |
| Amos 81-3 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. "What do you see, Amos?" he asked. "A basket of ripe fruit," I answered. Then the Lord said to me, "The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer. "In that day," declares the Sovereign Lord, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies–flung everywhere! Silence!" |
| Amos 84-10 |
Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land, saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?"–
skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat. The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done. Will not the land tremble for this, and all who live in it mourn? ... I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth." |
| Amos 811,12 |
"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land–not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the Lord, but they will not find it." |
| Amos 91 |
I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said: "Strike the tops of the pillars so that the thresholds shake. Bring them down on the heads of all the people; those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away, none will escape." |
| Amos 98 |
"Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy it from the face of the earth–yet I will not totally destroy the house of Jacob," declares the Lord. |
| Mic 39-12 |
Hear this, you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness. ... Therefore because of you, Zion will be plowed like a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble. |
| Hab 12,5,6 |
How long, O Lord, must I call for help, but you do not listen? ...
Look at the nations and watch–and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. I am raising up the Babylonians, that ruthless and impetuous people, who sweep across the whole earth to seize dwelling places not their own. |
| Zeph 13-6 |
"The wicked will have only heaps of rubble when I cut off man from the face of the earth," declares the Lord. "Against Judah I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all who live in Jerusalem. I will cut off from this place every remnant of Baal, the names of the pagan and the idolatrous priests–those who bow down on the roofs to worship the starry host, those who bow down and swear by the Lord and who also swear by Molech, those who turn back from following the Lord and neither seek the Lord nor inquire of him." |
| Zeph 112,13 |
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who are complacent, who are like wine left on its dregs, who think, 'The Lord will do nothing, either good or bad.’ Their wealth will be plundered, their houses demolished. |
| Hag 14-10 |
Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your panelled houses, while this house remains a ruin?" Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: "Give careful thought to your ways. You have planted much, but have harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it. ... You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?" declares the Lord Almighty. "Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with his own house. Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. |
| Zech 137 |
"Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me!" declares the Lord Almighty. "Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered." "Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?" the Lord says. "Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals." Edom may say, "Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins." But this is what the Lord Almighty says: "They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord. You will see it with your own eyes and say, 'Great is the Lord–even beyond the borders of Israel!’" |
| Mal 12-5 |
"Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?" the Lord says. "Yet I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, and I have turned his mountains into a wasteland and left his inheritance to the desert jackals." Edom may say, "Though we have been crushed, we will rebuild the ruins." But this is what the Lord Almighty says: "They may build, but I will demolish. They will be called the Wicked Land, a people always under the wrath of the Lord. You will see it with your own eyes and say, 'Great is the Lord–even beyond the borders of Israel!'" |
| Gen 1513-16 |
Then the Lord said to him, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own, and they will be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years. But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. You, however, will go to your fathers in peace and be buried at a good old age. In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure." |
| Gen 169-12 |
Then the angel of the Lord told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her." The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count." The angel of the Lord also said to her: "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone’s hand against him, and he will live in hostility toward all his brothers. |
| Gen 2112,13 |
But God said to him, "Do not be so distressed about the boy and your maidservant. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned. I will make the son of the maidservant into a nation also, because he is your offspring." |
| Gen 2117,18 |
God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "What is the matter, Hagar? Do not be afraid; God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation." |
| Gen 2215-18 |
The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, "I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me." |
| Gen 2523 |
The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger." |
| Gen 2727-29 |
When Isaac caught the smell of his clothes, he blessed him and said, "Ah, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed. May God give you of heaven’s dew and of earth’s richness– an abundance of grain and new wine. May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may the sons of your mother bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed and those who bless you be blessed." |
| Gen 2738-40 |
Then Esau wept aloud. His father Isaac answered him, "Your dwelling will be away from the earth’s richness, away from the dew of heaven above. You will live by the sword and you will serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck." |
| Gen 4819,20 |
But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know. He too will become a people, and he too will become great. Nevertheless, his younger brother will be greater than he, and his descendants will become a group of nations." He blessed them that day and said,
"In your name will Israel pronounce this blessing: 'May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.’ " |
| Gen 498-10 |
"Judah, your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you. You are a lion’s cub, O Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness–who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the nations is his. |
| Exd 66,7 |
"Therefore, say to the Israelites: 'I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians." |
Exd 121-14
Exd 1240-42 |
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, "This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year. Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household. If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbour, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it over the fire–head, legs and inner parts. Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. "On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn–both men and animals–and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. "This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord–a lasting ordinance. ..." Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honour the Lord for the generations to come. |
| Exd 2942-46 |
"For the generations to come this burnt offering is to be made regularly at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the Lord. There I will meet you and speak to you; there also I will meet with the Israelites, and the place will be consecrated by my glory. ...
They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God." |
| Exd 3423,24 |
Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the God of Israel. I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the Lord your God. |
| Num 2510-13 |
The Lord said to Moses, "Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites; for he was as zealous as I am for my honor among them, so that in my zeal I did not put an end to them. Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honour of his God and made atonement for the Israelites." |
| Josh 626 |
At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath: "Cursed before the Lord is the man who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho: At the cost of his firstborn son will he lay its foundations; at the cost of his youngest will he set up its gates." |
| Josh 2416-27 |
Then the people answered, "Far be it from us to forsake the Lord to serve other gods! It was the Lord our God himself who brought us and our fathers up out of Egypt ... We too will serve the Lord, because he is our God." Joshua said to the people, "You are not able to serve the Lord. He is a holy God; he is a jealous God. He will not forgive your rebellion and your sins. ... Now then," said Joshua, "throw away the foreign gods that are among you and yield your hearts to the Lord, the God of Israel. ... See! This stone will be a witness against us." |
| Ruth 411,12 |
Then the elders and all those at the gate said, "We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you have standing in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem. Through the offspring the Lord gives you by this young woman, may your family be like that of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah." |
| Ruth 414 |
The women said to Naomi: "Praise be to the Lord, who this day has not left you without a kinsman-redeemer. May he become famous throughout Israel!" |
| 1Sam 235 |
I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his house, and he will minister before my anointed one always. |
| 2Sam 74-16 |
That night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: "Go and tell my servant David, 'This is what the Lord says: Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? ... I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel. I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men of the earth. ... The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you ... He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. ... Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever. ’ " |
| Is 92-6 |
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned. You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as men rejoice when dividing the plunder. For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. Every warrior’s boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. |
| Is 1020-25 |
In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God. ... Therefore, this is what the Lord, the Lord Almighty, says: "O my people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod
and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did. Very soon my anger against you will end and my wrath will be directed to their destruction." |
| Is 121-6 |
In that day you will say: "I will praise you, O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you." |
| Is 3015-21 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: "In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it. ... Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you. Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them. Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." |
| Is 421-4 |
Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope. |
| Is 425-7 |
This is what God the Lord says–he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." |
| Is 431-7 |
But now, this is what the Lord says–he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honoured in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life.
Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!’ and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth– everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." |
| Is 4513 |
"I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness: I will make all his ways straight. He will rebuild my city and set my exiles free, but not for a price or reward," says the Lord Almighty. |
| Is 463,9-13 |
Listen to me, O house of Jacob, ... Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. I make known the end from the beginning,
from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please. From the east I summon a bird of prey; from a far-off land, a man to fulfill my purpose. What I have said, that will I bring about; what I have planned, that will I do. Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, you who are far from righteousness. I am bringing my righteousness near, it is not far away; and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation to Zion, my splendour to Israel. |
| Is 4817-22 |
And now the Sovereign Lord has sent me, with his Spirit. "This is what the Lord says–your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go. ... Leave Babylon, flee from the Babylonians! ... There is no peace," says the Lord, "for the wicked." |
| Is 514,5 |
Listen to me, my people; hear me, my nation: The law will go out from me; my justice will become a light to the nations. My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. ... the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment ... But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail. " |
| Is 523 |
For this is what the Lord says: "You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed." |
| Is 529,10 |
Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God. |
| Is 545-8,10 |
"For your Maker is your husband–the Lord Almighty is his name–
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit–a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. "For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you," says the Lord your Redeemer. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed," says the Lord, who has compassion on you. |
| Is 5411-15 |
O afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will build you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with sapphires. I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. All your sons will be taught by the Lord, and great will be your children’s peace. In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you. If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing; whoever attacks you will surrender to you. |
| Is 551-3 |
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labour on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare. Give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David." |
| Is 5510,11 |
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. |
| Is 566-8 |
"And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to serve him, to love the name of the Lord, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant–

Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations." The Sovereign Lord declares– he who gathers the exiles of Israel: "I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered." |
| Is 601-3 |
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. |
| Is 6016-18 |
Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron.

No longer will violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. |
| Is 6517-19 |
Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. |
| Jer 233-6 |
"I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord. "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely
and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteousness." |

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile." |
| Jer 319-14 |
"They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back.
I will lead them beside streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am Israel’s father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. Hear the word of the Lord, O nations; proclaim it in distant coastlands: 'He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’ For the Lord will ransom Jacob and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they. They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord–the grain, the new wine and the oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. I will satisfy the priests with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty," declares the Lord. |

I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." |
| Jer 3127,28 |
"The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will plant the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the offspring of men and of animals.

| Jer 3132-34 |
"The time is coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.

"This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time," declares the Lord. "I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man teach his neighbour, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the Lord.

| Jer 3135-37 |
This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar–the Lord Almighty is his name: "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the Lord, "will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me."

and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares the Lord. |

"I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness. Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honour before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it. ... For I will restore the fortunes of the land as they were before," says the Lord. |

In those days, at that time," declares the Lord, "search will be made for Israel's guilt, but there will be none, and for the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant I spare." |
| Ezek 371-11 |
The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign Lord, you alone know." Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’ " So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ " So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet–a vast army. Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel." |

Then the angel who was speaking to me said, Proclaim this word: This is what the Lord Almighty says: "I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion, but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure. I was only a little angry, but they added to the calamity".

Deut 2026-28 |
The Lord said to Moses, "Speak to the Israelites and say to them: 'When you cross the Jordan into Canaan, drive out all the inhabitants of the land before you. Destroy all their carved images and their cast idols, and demolish all their high places. Take possession of the land and settle in it, for I have given you the land to possess. Distribute the land by lot, according to your clans. To a larger group give a larger inheritance, and to a smaller group a smaller one. Whatever falls to them by lot will be theirs. Distribute it according to your ancestral tribes. But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land, those you allow to remain will become barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will give you trouble in the land where you will live. And then I will do to you what I plan to do to them.’ " |
| Deut 93-5 |
He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly, as the Lord has promised you. After the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say to yourself, 'The Lord has brought me here to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’ No, it is on account of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is going to drive them out before you. It is not because of your righteousness or your integrity that you are going in to take possession of their land. |
| Deut 1111,12 |

Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." |
| Deut 344 |

| Josh 12-5 |
Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them–to the Israelites. I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates–all the Hittite country–to the Great Sea on the west. No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. |

"However, the days are coming," declares the Lord, "when men will no longer say, 'As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’ but they will say, 'As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers." |
| Jer 303 |

This is what the Lord says: "Restrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for your work will be rewarded," declares the Lord. "They will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your future," declares the Lord. "Your children will return to their own land." |
| Ezek 3411-15 |
For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: "I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. I will bring them out from the nations and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them into their own land. I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the settlements in the land. I will tend them in a good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel will be their grazing land. There they will lie down in good grazing land, and there they will feed in a rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down," declares the Sovereign Lord. |
| Ezek 361-12 |
Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The enemy said of you, 'Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession. ’ Therefore prophesy and say, This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because they ravaged and hounded you from every side so that you became the possession of the rest of the nations and the object of people’s malicious talk and slander, therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord: This is what the Sovereign Lord says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and the deserted towns that have been plundered and ridiculed by the rest of the nations around you– this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, for with glee and with malice in their hearts they made my land their own possession so that they might plunder its pastureland.’Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations. Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I swear with uplifted hand that the nations around you will also suffer scorn.
But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home. I am concerned for you and will look on you with favour; you will be plowed and sown, and I will multiply the number of people upon you, even the whole house of Israel. The towns will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous. I will settle people on you as in the past and will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the Lord. I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk upon you. They will possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their children. |
| Ezek 3622-28 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord, declares the Sovereign Lord, when I show myself holy through you before their eyes. For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will be my people, and I will be your God." |
| Ezek 3633-36 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through it. They will say, 'This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.’ Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it." |
| Ezek 3712-14 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "O my people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land.

| Ezek 3715-23 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim’s stick, belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.’ Join them together into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. When your countrymen ask you, 'Won’t you tell us what you mean by this?’ say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am going to take the stick of Joseph–which is in Ephraim’s hand–and of the Israelite tribes associated with him, and join it to Judah’s stick, making them a single stick of wood, and they will become one in my hand.’ Hold before their eyes the sticks you have written on and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offenses, for I will save them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people, and I will be their God." |
| Ezek 3927-29 |
When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the countries of their enemies, I will show myself holy through them in the sight of many nations.

I will no longer hide my face from them, for I will pour out my Spirit on the house of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord. |

| Joel 31,2 |
In those days and at that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land. |
| Joel 321 |
The Lord dwells in Zion! |
| Gen 314,15 |
So the Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this,
Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." |
| Gen 316 |
To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing; with pain you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you." |

To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,’
"Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." |
| Gen 323,24 |
So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life. |
| Gen 411,15 |
"Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you.

Gen 66-8
Gen 617-19 |
The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the Lord said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth–men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air–for I am grieved that I have made them." But Noah found favour in the eyes of the Lord. ... I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish. But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark–you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. |
| Gen 115-8 |
But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. |
| Exd 3230-35 |
The next day Moses said to the people, "You have committed a great sin. But now I will go up to the Lord; perhaps I can make atonement for your sin." So Moses went back to the Lord and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin–but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written." The Lord replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book. Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin." And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made. |
| Num 1421-23 |
Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth, not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times– not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. |
| Num 2012,24 |
"Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them." ... Aaron will be gathered to his people. He will not enter the land I give the Israelites, because both of you rebelled against my command at the waters of Meribah. |
| Josh 711,12 |
Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions. That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction. |
| Judg 21-3 |
The angel of the Lord went up from Gilgal to Bokim and said, "I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land that I swore to give to your forefathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you, and you shall not make a covenant with the people of this land, but you shall break down their altars.’ Yet you have disobeyed me. Why have you done this? Now therefore I tell you that I will not drive them out before you; they will be thorns in your sides and their gods will be a snare to you." |

1Sam 314 |
Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: "I promised that your house and your father’s house would minister before me forever." But now the Lord declares: "Far be it from me! Those who honour me I will honour, but those who despise me will be disdained. The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father’s house, so that there will not be an old man in your family line and you will see distress in my dwelling. ... Therefore, I swore to the house of Eli, 'The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering." |

1Sa 1523 |
"You acted foolishly," Samuel said. "You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom will not endure; the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord’s command. ... Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has rejected you as king." |
| 2Sa 127-14 |
Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! ... Why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his eyes? ... Now, therefore, the sword will never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own. ... Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you." ... Then David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan replied, "The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have made the enemies of the Lord show utter contempt, the son born to you will die." |
2Sa 2411-15
1Ch 2111,12 |
The word of the Lord had come to Gad the prophet, David’s seer: "Go and tell David, 'This is what the Lord says: I am giving you three options. Choose one of them for me to carry out against you.’" So Gad went to David and said to him, "Shall there come upon you three years of famine in your land? Or three months of fleeing from your enemies while they pursue you? Or three days of plague in your land? Now then, think it over and decide how I should answer the one who sent me." David said to Gad, "I am in deep distress. Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great; but do not let me fall into the hands of men." So the Lord sent a plague on Israel from that morning until the end of the time designated, and seventy thousand of the people from Dan to Beersheba died. |
| 1Kgs 119-11 |
The Lord became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the Lord’s command. So the Lord said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates." |
| 1Kgs 1321,22 |
This is what the Lord says: "You have defied the word of the Lord and have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. You came back and ate bread and drank water in the place where he told you not to eat or drink. Therefore your body will not be buried in the tomb of your fathers." |
| 1Kgs 146-16 |
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. ... Go, tell Jeroboam ... 'I raised you up from among the people ... but you have done more evil than all who lived before you. ... Because of this, I am going to bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam. ... Dogs will eat those belonging to Jeroboam who die in the city, and the birds of the air will feed on those who die in the country. ... When you set foot in your city, the boy will die. ... the Lord will ... uproot Israel from this good land that he gave to their forefathers and scatter them beyond the River, ... he will give Israel up because of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit." |
| 1Kgs 161-3 |
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha: "I lifted you up from the dust and made you leader of my people Israel, but you walked in the ways of Jeroboam and caused my people Israel to sin and to provoke me to anger by their sins. So I am about to consume Baasha and his house." |
| 2Kgs 527 |
"Naaman’s leprosy will cling to you and to your descendants forever." Then Gehazi went from Elisha’s presence and he was leprous, as white as snow. |
| Is 110-13 |
Hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah! "The multitude of your sacrifices– what are they to me?" says the Lord. ... I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls and lambs and goats. ... Stop bringing meaningless offerings! Your incense is detestable to me." |
| Is 127,28 |
Zion will be redeemed with justice, her penitent ones with righteousness. But rebels and sinners will both be broken, and those who forsake the Lord will perish. |
| Is 51-7 |
I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard: My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside. He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines. He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit. "Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard.
What more could have been done for my vineyard than I have done for it? When I looked for good grapes, why did it yield only bad? Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it will be destroyed; I will break down its wall, and it will be trampled. I will make it a wasteland, neither pruned nor cultivated, and briers and thorns will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it." The vineyard of the Lord Almighty is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the garden of his delight. And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;
for righteousness, but heard cries of distress. |
| Is 58-25 |
Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field ...
Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks,
who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine. ...
Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit, and wickedness as with cart ropes. ...
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. ...
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes. ...
Woe to those who acquit the guilty for a bribe. ...
Therefore the Lord’s anger burns against his people. |
| Is 69-13 |
He said, "Go and tell this people: 'Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving. Make the heart of this people calloused; make their ears dull and close their eyes. ... until the Lord has sent everyone far away and the land is utterly forsaken." |
| Is 713-23 |
Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. ... The Lord will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since Ephraim broke away from Judah–he will bring the king of Assyria. ... In that day, in every place where there were a thousand vines worth a thousand silver shekels, there will be only briers and thorns." |
| Is 85-8 |
The Lord spoke to me again: "Because this people has rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah and rejoices over Rezin and the son of Remaliah, therefore the Lord is about to bring against them the mighty floodwaters of the River– the king of Assyria with all his pomp. It will overflow all its channels, run over all its banks and sweep on into Judah, swirling over it, passing through it and reaching up to the neck. Its outspread wings will cover the breadth of your land, O Immanuel !" |
| Is 918,19 |
Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns,
it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke. By the wrath of the Lord Almighty the land will be scorched and the people will be fuel for the fire. |
| Is 105-19 |
Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of my anger, in whose hand is the club of my wrath! I send him against a godless nation, ... but this is not what he intends, this is not what he has in mind; his purpose is to destroy, to put an end to many nations. ... When the Lord has finished all his work against Mount Zion and Jerusalem, he will say, "I will punish the king of Assyria for the willful pride of his heart and the haughty look in his eyes. For he says: 'By the strength of my hand I have done this, and by my wisdom, because I have understanding. I removed the boundaries of nations, I plundered their treasures; like a mighty one I subdued their kings. ... Therefore, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will send a wasting disease upon his sturdy warriors; under his pomp a fire will be kindled like a blazing flame. The Light of Israel will become a fire, their Holy One a flame; in a single day it will burn and consume his thorns and his briers. The splendour of his forests and fertile fields it will completely destroy, as when a sick man wastes away. |
| Is 1317,19,20 |
See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver
and have no delight in gold. ... Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians’ pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah. She will never be inhabited or lived in through all generations. |
| Is 1412-15 |
How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." But you are brought down to the grave, to the depths of the pit. |
| Is 1429-32 |
Do not rejoice, all you Philistines, that the rod that struck you is broken; from the root of that snake will spring up a viper, its fruit will be a darting, venomous serpent. The poorest of the poor will find pasture, and the needy will lie down in safety. But your root I will destroy by famine; it will slay your survivors. ... The Lord has established Zion, and in her his afflicted people will find refuge. |
| Is 166,12 |
We have heard of Moab’s pride– her overweening pride and conceit, ... Moab’s splendour and all her many people will be despised, and her survivors will be very few and feeble. |
| Is 231 |
Wail, O ships of Tarshish! For Tyre is destroyed and left without house or harbor. |
| Is 4218,24,25 |
Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! ... Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned? For they would not follow his ways; they did not obey his law. So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart. |
| Is 591,2 |
Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. |
| Is 6511,12 |
But as for you who forsake the Lord and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table
for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword,
and you will all bend down for the slaughter; for I called but you did not answer, I
spoke but you did not listen. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me. |
| Is 6615,16 |

The Lord said to me, "From the north disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land. I am about to summon all the peoples of the northern kingdoms," declares the Lord. "Their kings will come and set up their thrones in the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem;
they will come against all her surrounding walls and against all the towns of Judah. I will pronounce my judgments on my people because of their wickedness in forsaking me, in burning incense to other gods and in worshiping what their hands have made. |
| Jer 2 |
I brought you into a fertile land to eat its fruit and rich produce. But you came and defiled my land and made my inheritance detestable. The priests did not ask, 'Where is the Lord?’ Those who deal with the law did not know me; the leaders rebelled against me. The prophets prophesied by Baal, following worthless idols. ...
"My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water. ... Yet in spite of all this you say, 'I am innocent he is not angry with me.’ But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned.’" |
| Jer 414-17 |
"O Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart and be saved. How long will you harbor wicked thoughts? ... Tell this to the nations, proclaim it to Jerusalem: 'A besieging army is coming from a distant land, raising a war cry against the cities of Judah. They surround her like men guarding a field, because she has rebelled against me,’ " declares the Lord. |
| Jer 427,28 |
This is what the Lord says: "The whole land will be ruined, though I will not destroy it completely. Therefore the earth will mourn and the heavens above grow dark, because I have spoken and will not relent, I have decided and will not turn back." |
Jer 613-15
Jer 810,11 |
"From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit. They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. 'Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct?
No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the Lord. |
| Jer 813 |

| Jer 119-12 |
Then the Lord said to me, "There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. They have returned to the sins of their forefathers, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their forefathers. Therefore this is what the Lord says: 'I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them. The towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go and cry out to the gods to whom they burn incense, but they will not help them at all when disaster strikes." |
| Jer 1121-23 |
"Therefore this is what the Lord says about the men of Anathoth who are seeking your life and saying, 'Do not prophesy in the name of the Lord or you will die by our hands’– therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says: 'I will punish them.

Not even a remnant will be left to them, because I will bring disaster on the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.’ " |
| Jer 127 |
I will forsake my house, abandon my inheritance; I will give the one I love into the hands of her enemies. |

| Jer 1410-12 |
This is what the Lord says about this people: "They greatly love to wander; they do not restrain their feet. So the Lord does not accept them; he will now remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins." Then the Lord said to me, "Do not pray for the well-being of this people. Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry; though they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword, famine and plague." |
| Jer 1414-16 |
Then the Lord said to me, "The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds. Therefore, this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, 'No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish by sword and famine. And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury them or their wives, their sons or their daughters. I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve." |
| Jer 153,4 |
"I will send four kinds of destroyers against them," declares the Lord, "the sword to kill and the dogs to drag away and the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.

| Jer 228,9 |

| Jer 231,2 |
"Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!" declares the Lord.

| Jer 2310-12 |
The prophets follow an evil course and use their power unjustly. "Both prophet and priest are godless; even in my temple I find their wickedness," declares the Lord. "Therefore their path will become slippery; they will be banished to darkness and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them in the year they are punished," declares the Lord. |
Jer 2330-32
Jer 2339 |
"Therefore," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me. Yes," declares the Lord, "I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, 'The Lord declares.’ Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams," declares the Lord. "They tell them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint them. They do not benefit these people in the least," declares the Lord. ... "Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your fathers. I will bring upon you everlasting disgrace–everlasting shame that will not be forgotten." |
| Jer 2529 |

He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against me.’ " |
| Jer 3515,17 |
Again and again I sent all my servants the prophets to you. They said, "Each of you must turn from your wicked ways and reform your actions; do not follow other gods to serve them. Then you will live in the land I have given to you and your fathers." But you have not paid attention or listened to me. ... Therefore, this is what the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'Listen! I am going to bring on Judah and on everyone living in Jerusalem every disaster I pronounced against them. I spoke to them, but they did not listen; I called to them, but they did not answer.’ " |
| Jer 3627-31 |
After the king burned the scroll containing the words that Baruch had written at Jeremiah’s dictation, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: "Take another scroll and write on it all the words that were on the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up. Also tell Jehoiakim king of Judah, 'This is what the Lord says: You burned that scroll and said, "Why did you write on it that the king of Babylon would certainly come and destroy this land and cut off both men and animals from it?" Therefore, this is what the Lord says about Jehoiakim king of Judah: He will have no one to sit on the throne of David; his body will be thrown out and exposed to the heat by day and the frost by night. I will punish him and his children and his attendants for their wickedness; I will bring on them and those living in Jerusalem and the people of Judah every disaster I pronounced against them, because they have not listened.’ " |
| Ezek 55-13 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "This is Jerusalem, which I have set in the centre of the nations, ... Yet in her wickedness she has rebelled against my laws and decrees more than the nations and countries around her. She has rejected my laws and has not followed my decrees. ... Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself am against you, Jerusalem, and I will inflict punishment on you in the sight of the nations. Because of all your detestable idols, I will do to you what I have never done before and will never do again. ... Therefore as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your vile images and detestable practices, I myself will withdraw my favor; I will not look on you with pity or spare you. A third of your people will die of the plague or perish by famine inside you; a third will fall by the sword outside your walls; and a third I will scatter to the winds and pursue with drawn sword. Then my anger will cease and my wrath against them will subside, and I will be avenged." |
| Ezek 61-10 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, set your face against the mountains of Israel; prophesy against them and say: 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Sovereign Lord. ...

Your altars will be demolished and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will slay your people in front of your idols. ... Your people will fall slain among you, and you will know that I am the Lord. 'But I will spare some, for some of you will escape the sword when you are scattered among the lands and nations. ...

| Ezek 98-10 |
"Sovereign Lord! Are you going to destroy the entire remnant of Israel in this outpouring of your wrath on Jerusalem?" He answered me, "The sin of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great; the land is full of bloodshed and the city is full of injustice. They say, 'The Lord has forsaken the land; the Lord does not see.’ So I will not look on them with pity or spare them, but I will bring down on their own heads what they have done." |
| Ezek 1322,23 |
"Because you disheartened the righteous with your lies, when I had brought them no grief, and because you encouraged the wicked not to turn from their evil ways and so save their lives, therefore you will no longer see false visions or practice divination. I will save my people from your hands. And then you will know that I am the Lord.’ " |

The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuary.

| Ezek 252-7 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them. ...

I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the Lord." |
| Ezek 258-11 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "Because Moab and Seir said, 'Look, the house of Judah has become like all the other nations,’ therefore I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the East as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations; and I will inflict punishment on Moab. Then they will know that I am the Lord." |
Ezek 2512,13
Ezek 351-4 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "Because Edom took revenge on the house of Judah and became very guilty by doing so, therefore ... I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill its men and their animals. I will lay it waste, they will fall by the sword. I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath; they will know my vengeance, declares the Sovereign Lord." |
| Ezek 2515-17 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts, and with ancient hostility sought to destroy Judah, therefore I am about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Kerethites and destroy those remaining along the coast. I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I take vengeance on them." |

Ezek 282 |
"Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,’ therefore ... I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves. They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign Lord. ... Then they will know that I am the Lord. ... In the pride of your heart you say, 'I am a god; I sit on the throne of a god in the heart of the seas.’ But you are a man and not a god, though you think you are as wise as a god." |
| Ezek 2822,23 |

| Ezek 293-9 |
"I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, you great monster lying among your streams. You say, 'The Nile is mine; I made it for myself.’ ... I will leave you in the desert, ... I will give you as food
to the beasts of the earth and the birds of the air. Then all who live in Egypt will know that I am the Lord. You have been a staff of reed for the house of Israel. ...

Then they will know that I am the Lord." |
| Ezek 3327-29 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says: "As surely as I live, those who are left in the ruins will fall by the sword, those out in the country I will give to the wild animals to be devoured, and those in strongholds and caves will die of a plague.

Then they will know that I am the Lord." |
| Ezek 341-10 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. ... Therefore, you shepherds, hear the word of the Lord: ... because my shepherds did not search for my flock but cared for themselves rather than for my flock, therefore, ... I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them." |
| Ezek 381-23 |
The word of the Lord came to me: "Son of man, set your face against Gog, ... I will bring you out with your whole army–your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. Persia, Cush and Put will be with them, ... with all its troops–the many nations with you. ... You and all your troops and the many nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering the land. ... You will say, "I will invade a land of unwalled villages; I will attack a peaceful and unsuspecting people–all of them living without walls and without gates and bars. I will plunder and loot and turn my hand against the resettled ruins and the people gathered from the nations, rich in livestock and goods, living at the center of the land. ... Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In that day, when my people Israel are living in safety, will you not take notice of it? You will come from your place in the far north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great horde, a mighty army. You will advance against my people Israel like a cloud that covers the land. In days to come, O Gog, I will bring you against my land ... I will execute judgment upon him with plague and bloodshed; I will pour down torrents of rain, hailstones and burning sulfur on him and on his troops and on the many nations with him. And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord." |
| Hos 811-14 |
Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, ... They offer sacrifices given to me and they eat the meat, but the Lord is not pleased with them.

But I will send fire upon their cities that will consume their fortresses. |
| Hos 91,9,17 |
Do not rejoice, O Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor. ...

| Hos 1012-15 |
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you. But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception. Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors, the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated–as Shalman devastated Beth Arbel on the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to the ground with their children. Thus will it happen to you, O Bethel, because your wickedness is great. When that day dawns, the king of Israel will be completely destroyed. |
| Hos 139 |
You are destroyed, O Israel, because you are against me, against your helper. |

For the Lord God Almighty declares, "I will stir up a nation against you, O house of Israel, that will oppress you all the way from Lebo Hamath to the valley of the Arabah." |
| Obad 11-4 |
This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom–We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, "Rise, and let us go against her for battle"– "See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, 'Who can bring me down to the ground?’ Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the Lord. |
| Obad 118 |

| Mic 610-16 |
Am I still to forget, O wicked house, your ill-gotten treasures ...
Shall I acquit a man with dishonest scales, with a bag of false weights? Her rich men are violent; her people are liars and their tongues speak deceitfully. Therefore, I have begun to destroy you, to ruin you because of your sins. You will eat but not be satisfied; your stomach will still be empty. You will store up but save nothing, because what you save I will give to the sword. You will plant but not harvest; you will press olives but not use the oil on yourselves, you will crush grapes but not drink the wine. You have observed the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house, and you have followed their traditions. Therefore I will give you over to ruin and your people to derision; you will bear the scorn of the nations. |
| Zeph 28-10 |
I have heard the insults of Moab and the taunts of the Ammonites, who insulted my people and made threats against their land. Therefore, as surely as I live," declares the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, "surely Moab will become like Sodom, the Ammonites like Gomorrah– a place of weeds and salt pits, a wasteland forever. The remnant of my people will plunder them; the survivors of my nation will inherit their land. This is what they will get in return for their pride, for insulting and mocking the people of the Lord Almighty. |

establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your
descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your
descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you are now an alien, I will give
as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God. |

| Is 261-4 |
This song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts. Open the gates that the righteous nation may enter, the nation that keeps faith.

| Is 272-6, 13 |
Sing about a fruitful vineyard: I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no-one may harm it. ...

Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. |
| Is 2814-17 |
Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem. ...

I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb-line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hiding-place. |
| Is 421-7 |
Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; He will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope. This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." |
| Is 431-7 |
But now, this is what the Lord says - he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; I give Egypt for your ransom, Cush and Seba in your stead. Since you are precious and honoured in my sight, and because I love you, I will give men in exchange for you, and people in exchange for your life. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth - Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made." |
| Is 442-5 |
This is what the Lord says - he who made you, who formed you in the womb, and who will help you: Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up like grass in a meadow, like poplar trees by flowing streams. |
| Is 4516,17 |

be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting. |
| Is 496,7 |
It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring
back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that you may
bring my salvation to the ends of the earth. This is what the Lord says-- the Redeemer
and Holy One of Israel ... "Kings will see you and rise up, princes will see and bow down,
because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you. |
| Is 513 |
The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will
make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness
will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing. |
| Is 523-10 |
For this is what the Lord says: "You were sold for nothing, and without money you will be redeemed. ... And all day long my name is constantly blasphemed. Therefore my people will know my name; therefore in that day they will know that it is I who foretold it. Yes, it is I. ... When the Lord returns to Zion, they will see it with their own eyes. Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem, for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord will lay bare his holy arm in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God." |
| Is 542,3 |

| Is 566-8 |
And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to serve him, to love the name of the Lord, and to worship him, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant - These I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. The Sovereign Lord declares - he who gathers the exiles of Israel: "I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered." |
| Jer 233-6 |
"I myself will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven
them and will bring them back to their pasture, where they will be fruitful and increase
in number. I will place shepherds over them who will tend them, and they will no longer
be afraid or terrified, nor will any be missing," declares the Lord. "The days are coming,"
declares the Lord, "when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign
wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel
will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our
Righteousness. |
| Jer 307-9 |
How awful that day will be! None will be like it. It will be a time of trouble for Jacob, but
he will be saved out of it. 'In that day,' declares the Lord Almighty, 'I will break the yoke
off their necks and will tear off their bonds; no longer will foreigners enslave them.
Instead, they will serve the Lord their God and David their king, whom I will raise up for
them.' |
| Jer 3010,11 |
'I will surely save you out of a distant place, your descendants from the land of their
exile. Jacob will again have peace and security, and no-one will make him afraid. I am
with you and will save you,' declares the Lord. 'Though I completely destroy all the
nations among which I scatter you, I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you
but only with justice; I will not let you go entirely unpunished.' |
| Jer 3012-24 |
'Your wound is incurable, your injury beyond healing. There is no-one to plead your
cause, no remedy for your sore, no healing for you. ... because your guilt is so great and
your sins so many. ... But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,' declares the
Lord, 'because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no-one cares. ... So you will be
my people, and I will be your God.' ... In days to come you will understand this. |
| Jer 313-8 |
I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness. I will
build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel. ... Again you will plant
vineyards. |
| Jer 319 |
They will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back. I will lead them beside
streams of water on a level path where they will not stumble, because I am Israel's
father, and Ephraim is my firstborn son. |
| Jer 3110-13 |
He who scattered Israel will gather them and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.
For the Lord will ransom Jacob and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than
they. They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the
bounty of the Lord--the grain, the new wine and the oil, the young of the flocks and
herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and they will sorrow no more. Then
maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn their mourning
into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. |
| Jer 3131-34 |
"The time is coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the
house of Israel and with the house of Judah. ... I will put my law in their minds and write
it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will a man
teach his neighbour, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all
know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the Lord. "For I will forgive
their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." |
| Jer 3135-37 |
This is what the Lord says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the
moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar-- the Lord
Almighty is his name: "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the Lord,
"will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me." This is what the
Lord says: "Only if the heavens above can be measured and the foundations of the earth
below be searched out will I reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have
done," declares the Lord.
|
| Jer 335-9 |
I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness. Nevertheless, I will bring
health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace
and security. I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as
they were before. I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me
and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. Then this city will bring me renown,
joy, praise and honour before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for
it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I
provide for it. |
| Jer 3317-21 |
'David will never fail to have a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel. ... If you
can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and
night no longer come at their appointed time, then my covenant with David my servant
... can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne. |
| Ezek 3424-31 |
I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them. I the Lord
have spoken. I will make a covenant of peace with them ... They will live in safety, and
no-one will make them afraid. I will provide for them a land renowned for its crops, and
they will no longer be victims of famine in the land or bear the scorn of the nations. Then
they will know that I, the Lord their God, am with them and that they, the house of
Israel, are my people, declares the Sovereign Lord. You my sheep, the sheep of my
pasture, are people, and I am your God, declares the Sovereign Lord. |
| Ezek 366-12 |
I speak in my jealous wrath because you have suffered the scorn of the nations. ... you,
O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will
soon come home. ... I will cause people, my people Israel, to walk upon you. They will
possess you, and you will be their inheritance; you will never again deprive them of their
children. |
| Ezek 3624-28 |
For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring
you back into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean;
I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new
heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give
you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees
and be careful to keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your forefathers; you will
be my people, and I will be your God. |
| Ezek 3633-36 |
On the day I cleanse you from all your sins, I will resettle your towns, and the ruins will
be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of
all who pass through it. They will say, "This land that was laid waste has become like the
garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now
fortified and inhabited." Then the nations around you that remain will know that I the
Lord have rebuilt what was destroyed and have replanted what was desolate. |
| Ezek 379 |
'Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, that they may live.' |
| Ezek 3716-22 |
Son of man, take a stick of wood and write on it, 'Belonging to Judah and the Israelites
associated with him.' Then take another stick of wood, and write on it, 'Ephraim's stick,
belonging to Joseph and all the house of Israel associated with him.' Join them together
into one stick so that they will become one in your hand. ... Hold before their eyes the
sticks you have written on and say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will
take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all
around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land,
on the mountains of Israel. There will be one king over all of them and they will never
again be two nations or be divided into two kingdoms. They will no longer defile
themselves with their idols and vile images or with any of their offences, for I will save
them from all their sinful backsliding, and I will cleanse them. They will be my people,
and I will be their God. My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have
one shepherd. They will follow my laws and be careful to keep my decrees. They will live
in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, the land where your fathers lived. They and their
children and their children's children will live there for ever, ... I will make a covenant
of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and increase
their numbers, and I will put my sanctuary among them for ever. My dwelling-place will
be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people. Then the nations will know
that I the Lord make Israel holy, when my sanctuary is among them for ever.' |
| Hos 110,11 |
Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or
counted. In the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people', they will be
called 'sons of the living God'. The people of Judah and the people of Israel will be
reunited, and they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great
will be the day of Jezreel. |
| Hos 214-23 |
I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and will make the Valley of
Achor a door of hope. ... In that day you will call me 'my husband' ... In that day I will
make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the
creatures that move along the ground. Bow and sword and battle I will abolish from the
land, so that all may lie down in safety. I will betroth you to me for ever; I will betroth
you in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion. I will betroth you in
faithfulness, and you will acknowledge the Lord. In that day I will respond ... I will plant
her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one'. I
will say to those called 'Not my people', 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are
my God.' |
Amos 911
Amos 914,15 |
In that day ... I will bring back my exiled people Israel ... They will plant vineyards and
drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant Israel in their own
land, never again to be uprooted from the land I have given them. |
| Mic 718-20 |
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of
his inheritance? You do not stay angry for ever but delight to show mercy. You will again
have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into
the depths of the sea. You will be true to Jacob, and show mercy to Abraham, as you
pledged on oath to our fathers in days long ago. |
| Nah 115 |
Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims
peace! Celebrate your festivals, O Judah, and fulfil your vows. No more will the wicked
invade you; they will be completely destroyed. |
| Zeph 39-13 |
Then will I purify the lips of the peoples, that all of them may call on the name of the
Lord ... Never again will you be haughty on my holy hill. But I will leave within you the
meek and humble, who trust in the name of the Lord. The remnant of Israel will do no
wrong; they will speak no lies ... and no-one will make them afraid. |
| Zech 210-12 |
"Shout and be glad, O Daughter of Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,"
declares the Lord. "Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will
become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has
sent me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again
choose Jerusalem. |
| Zech 81-8 |
"I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her." This is what the Lord
says: "I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City
of Truth, and the mountain of the Lord Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain." This
is what the Lord Almighty says: "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in
the streets of Jerusalem, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will
be filled with boys and girls playing there." This is what the Lord Almighty says: "It may
seem marvellous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvellous
to me? ... I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring
them back to live in Jerusalem; they will be my people, and I will be faithful and
righteous to them as their God." |
| Zech 103-12 |
The Lord Almighty will care for his flock, the house of Judah, house of Judah and save
the house of Joseph. I will restore them because I have compassion on them. They will
be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.
... Surely I will redeem them ... they will remember me. They and their children will
survive, and they will return. I will bring them back ... I will strengthen them in the Lord
and in his name they will walk. |
| Zech 123-5 |
I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling. Judah
will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the earth are
gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who
try to move it will injure themselves. On that day I will strike every horse with panic and
its rider with madness," declares the Lord. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of
Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. Then the leaders of Judah will say in
their hearts, 'The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the Lord Almighty is their
God.' |
| Zech 1210,11 |
I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace
and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn
for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a
firstborn son. On that day the weeping in Jerusalem will be great. |
| Zech 131,2 |
"On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. On that day, I will banish the names
of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more." |
| Is 22 |
In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains. |
| Is 42-4 |
In that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the
land will be the pride and glory of the survivors in Israel. Those who are left in Zion,
who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all who are recorded among the living
in Jerusalem. The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he will cleanse
the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit of Judgment and a spirit of fire. |
| Is 141 |
The Lord will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own land. Aliens will join them and unite with the house of Jacob. |
| Is 2913-24 |
These people come near to me with their mouth and honour me with their lips, but
their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by
men. Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder. ...
In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness
the eyes of the blind will see. Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord; the
needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. The ruthless will vanish, the mockers will
disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down. ... No longer will Jacob
be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale. When they see among them their
children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge
the holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. |
| Is 321-5,14-18 |
See, a king will reign in righteousness and rulers will rule with justice. Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land.
Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed, and the ears of those who hear will listen. The mind of the rash will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and clear. No longer will the fool be called noble nor the scoundrel be highly respected.
The fortress will be abandoned, the noisy city deserted; citadel and watchtower will become a wasteland forever, the delight of donkeys, a pasture for flocks, Till the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest. Justice will dwell in the desert and righteousness live in the fertile field. The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest. |
| Is 3320-24 |
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals; your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful
abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of
its ropes broken. There the Lord will be our Mighty One. It will be like a place of
broad rivers and streams. No galley with oars will ride them, no mighty ship will sail
them. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he
who will save us. ... No-one living in Zion will say, "I am ill"; and the sins of those
who dwell there will be forgiven. |
| Is 418-14 |
But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. ... For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
|
| Is 4523-25 |
Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear. They will say of me,
'In the Lord alone are righteousness and strength.' All who have raged against him
will come to him and be put to shame. But in the Lord all the descendants of Israel
will be found righteous and will exult. |
| Is 4913-26 |
Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the
Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. ... See, I will
beckon to the Gentiles ... They will bow down before you with their faces to the
ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord;
those who hope in me will not be disappointed. ... Then all mankind will know that
I, the Lord, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| Is 6014 |
All who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord,Zion of the Holy One of Israel. |
| Is 6015,16 |
Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no-one travelling through, I will
make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations. ... Then you will know
that I, the Lord, am your Saviour, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. |
| Is 6017-21 |
I will make peace your governor and righteousness your ruler. No longer will violence
be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call
your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. The sun will no more be your light by
day, nor will the brightness of the moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your
everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Your sun will never set again, and
your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days
of sorrow will end. Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the
land for ever. |
| Is 617-9 |
Instead of their shame my people will receive a double portion, and instead of
disgrace they will rejoice in their inheritance ... Their descendants will be known
among the nations and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will
acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed. |
| Is 622-4 |
The nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; you will be called
by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will bestow. You will be a crown of
splendour in the Lord's hand, a royal diadem in the hand of your God. No longer will
they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called
Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the Lord will take delight in you, and your
land will be married. |
| Is 6211,12 |
The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: "Say to the Daughter of
Zion, 'See, your Saviour comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense
accompanies him.' " They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted. |
| Is 6517-19 |
Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be
remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice for ever in what
I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will
rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of
crying will be heard in it no more. |
| Is 6523,24 |
They will be a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them.
Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. |
| Is 6622-24 |
"As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me," declares
the Lord, "so will your name and descendants endure. ... All mankind will come and
bow down before me," says the Lord. |
| Jer 317,18 |
At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will
gather in Jerusalem to honour the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the
stubbornness of their evil hearts. In those days the house of Judah will join the house
of Israel, and together they will come from a northern land to the land I gave your
forefathers. |
| Jer 3138-40 |
"The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when this city will be rebuilt for me ...
The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown ... will be holy to the
Lord. The city will never again be uprooted or demolished." |
| Jer 3315,16 |
In those days and at that time I will make a righteous Branch sprout from David's
line; he will do what is just and right in the land. In those days Judah will be saved
and Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name by which it will be called: The Lord
Our Righteousness. |

will live wherever the river flows. ... Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks
of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they
will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve
for food and their leaves for healing. |

the mountains ... Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the
mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the
Lord from Jerusalem. He will judge between many peoples and will settle disputes
for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into ploughshares and
their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will
they train for war any more. |
| Zeph 314-20 |
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken
away your punishment, he has turned back your enemy. The Lord, the King of Israel,
is with you; never again will you fear any harm. ... he is mighty to save. He will take
great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with
singing. ... At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will
give you honour and praise among all the peoples of the earth. |

livestock in it. And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,' declares the Lord, 'and
I will be its glory within.' |
| Zech 820-22 |
"Many peoples and the inhabitants of many cities will yet come, and the inhabitants
of one city will go to another and say, 'Let us go at once to entreat the Lord and seek
the Lord Almighty. I myself am going.' And many peoples and powerful nations will
come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord Almighty and to entreat him." |
| Zech 142-9 |
I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem to fight against it; the city will be captured,
the houses ransacked, and the women raped. Half of the city will go into exile, but
the rest of the people will not be taken from the city. Then the Lord will go out and
fight against those nations, as he fights in the day of battle. On that day his feet will
stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split
in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving
north and half moving south. You will flee by my mountain valley, for it will extend
to Azel. You will flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of
Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. On that day
there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or
night-time--a day known to the Lord. When evening comes, there will be light. On
that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half
to the western sea, in summer and in winter. The Lord will be king over the whole
earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. |
| Zech 1416, 21 |
Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year
after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Feast of
Tabernacles. ... And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of
the Lord Almighty. |
