[2 Kings 23:28-37 ESV] {28} Now the rest of the acts of Josiah and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? {29} In his days Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt went up to the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates. King Josiah went to meet him, and Pharaoh Neco killed him at Megiddo, as soon as he saw him. {30} And his servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo and brought him to Jerusalem and buried him in his own tomb. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place. {31} Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {32} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. {33} And Pharaoh Neco put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid on the land a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. {34} And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there. {35} And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the money according to the command of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Neco. {36} Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah. {37} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

[2 Kings 24:1-20 ESV] {1} In his days, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant for three years. Then he turned and rebelled against him. {2} And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans and bands of the Syrians and bands of the Moabites and bands of the Ammonites, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by his servants the prophets. {3} Surely this came upon Judah at the command of the LORD, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, {4} and also for the innocent blood that he had shed. For he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and the LORD would not pardon. {5} Now the rest of the deeds of Jehoiakim and all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? {6} So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. {7} And the king of Egypt did not come again out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates. {8} Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. {9} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. {10} At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. {11} And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it, {12} and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign {13} and carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the LORD, which Solomon king of Israel had made, as the LORD had foretold. {14} He carried away all Jerusalem and all the officials and all the mighty men of valor, 10,000 captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained, except the poorest people of the land. {15} And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the chief men of the land he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. {16} And the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valor, 7,000, and the craftsmen and the metal workers, 1,000, all of them strong and fit for war. {17} And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. {18} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {19} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. {20} For because of the anger of the LORD it came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

[2 Kings 25:1-12 ESV] {1} And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it. {2} So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. {3} On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. {4} Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. {5} But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. {6} Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him. {7} They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains and took him to Babylon. {8} In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month–that was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon–Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. {9} And he burned the house of the LORD and the king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down. {10} And all the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem. {11} And the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile. {12} But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

[Numbers 3:5-12 ESV] {5} And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {6} “Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him. {7} They shall keep guard over him and over the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, as they minister at the tabernacle. {8} They shall guard all the furnishings of the tent of meeting, and keep guard over the people of Israel as they minister at the tabernacle. {9} And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are wholly given to him from among the people of Israel. {10} And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall guard their priesthood. But if any outsider comes near, he shall be put to death.” {11} And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, {12} “Behold, I have taken the Levites from among the people of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the people of Israel. The Levites shall be mine,

[Numbers 4:1-4 ESV] {1} The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying, {2} “Take a census of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their clans and their fathers’ houses, {3} from thirty years old up to fifty years old, all who can come on duty, to do the work in the tent of meeting. {4} This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting: the most holy things.

[2 Timothy 4:1-5 ESV] {1} I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: {2} preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. {3} For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, {4} and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. {5} As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

[Acts 20:1-38 ESV] {1} After the uproar ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, and after encouraging them, he said farewell and departed for Macedonia. {2} When he had gone through those regions and had given them much encouragement, he came to Greece. {3} There he spent three months, and when a plot was made against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia. {4} Sopater the Berean, son of Pyrrhus, accompanied him; and of the Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timothy; and the Asians, Tychicus and Trophimus. {5} These went on ahead and were waiting for us at Troas, {6} but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and in five days we came to them at Troas, where we stayed for seven days. {7} On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day, and he prolonged his speech until midnight. {8} There were many lamps in the upper room where we were gathered. {9} And a young man named Eutychus, sitting at the window, sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked still longer. And being overcome by sleep, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. {10} But Paul went down and bent over him, and taking him in his arms, said, “Do not be alarmed, for his life is in him.” {11} And when Paul had gone up and had broken bread and eaten, he conversed with them a long while, until daybreak, and so departed. {12} And they took the youth away alive, and were not a little comforted. {13} But going ahead to the ship, we set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there, for so he had arranged, intending himself to go by land. {14} And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and went to Mitylene. {15} And sailing from there we came the following day opposite Chios; the next day we touched at Samos; and the day after that we went to Miletus. {16} For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia, for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost. {17} Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church to come to him. {18} And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, {19} serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; {20} how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, {21} testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. {22} And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, {23} except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. {24} But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. {25} And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. {26} Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, {27} for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. {28} Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. {29} I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; {30} and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. {31} Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears. {32} And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. {33} I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. {34} You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. {35} In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'” {36} And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. {37} And there was much weeping on the part of all; they embraced Paul and kissed him, {38} being sorrowful most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they accompanied him to the ship.

[Leviticus 18:22-30 ESV] {22} You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. {23} And you shall not lie with any animal and so make yourself unclean with it, neither shall any woman give herself to an animal to lie with it: it is perversion. {24} “Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, for by all these the nations I am driving out before you have become unclean, {25} and the land became unclean, so that I punished its iniquity, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. {26} But you shall keep my statutes and my rules and do none of these abominations, either the native or the stranger who sojourns among you {27} (for the people of the land, who were before you, did all of these abominations, so that the land became unclean), {28} lest the land vomit you out when you make it unclean, as it vomited out the nation that was before you. {29} For everyone who does any of these abominations, the persons who do them shall be cut off from among their people. {30} So keep my charge never to practice any of these abominable customs that were practiced before you, and never to make yourselves unclean by them: I am the LORD your God.”

[Deuteronomy 7:25 ESV] {25} The carved images of their gods you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.

[Deuteronomy 12:31 ESV] {31} You shall not worship the LORD your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the LORD hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

[Deuteronomy 25:13-16 ESV] {13} “You shall not have in your bag two kinds of weights, a large and a small. {14} You shall not have in your house two kinds of measures, a large and a small. {15} A full and fair weight you shall have, a full and fair measure you shall have, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. {16} For all who do such things, all who act dishonestly, are an abomination to the LORD your God.

[1 Kings 14:22-24 ESV] {22} And Judah did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins that they committed, more than all that their fathers had done. {23} For they also built for themselves high places and pillars and Asherim on every high hill and under every green tree, {24} and there were also male cult prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations that the LORD drove out before the people of Israel.

[Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV] {16} There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are an abomination to him: {17} haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, {18} a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, {19} a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.

[Proverbs 28:9 ESV] {9} If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.

[Ezekiel 3:10 ESV] {10} Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

[Hebrews 9:28 ESV] {28} so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.

[Ezekiel 1:1-2 ESV] {1} In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. {2} On the fifth day of the month (it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin),

[Ezekiel 1:1 ESV] {1} In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the exiles by the Chebar canal, the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

[Ezekiel 3:15 ESV] {15} And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.

[Ezekiel 3:22-23 ESV] {22} And the hand of the LORD was upon me there. And he said to me, “Arise, go out into the valley, and there I will speak with you.” {23} So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the Chebar canal, and I fell on my face.

[Ezekiel 1:26-28 ESV] {26} And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance. {27} And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him. {28} Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.

[Ezekiel 3:23 ESV] {23} So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the Chebar canal, and I fell on my face.

[Ezekiel 6:10 ESV] {10} And they shall know that I am the LORD. I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.”

[Jeremiah 31:31-34 ESV] {31} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, {32} not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. {33} For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. {34} And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

[Exodus 40:17, 34-35 ESV] {17} In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected. … {34} Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. {35} And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

[2 Chronicles 6:1-2 ESV] {1} Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness. {2} But I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.”

[2 Chronicles 7:1-3 ESV] {1} As soon as Solomon finished his prayer, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple. {2} And the priests could not enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD filled the LORD’s house. {3} When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of the LORD on the temple, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.”

[Hebrews 1:1, 3 ESV] {1} Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, … {3} He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

[John 1:1, 14 ESV] {1} In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … {14} And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

[Revelation 1:12-18 ESV] {12} Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, {13} and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. {14} The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, {15} his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters. {16} In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength. {17} When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “Fear not, I am the first and the last, {18} and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.

[Revelation 19:10 ESV] {10} Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

[Luke 2:21-32 ESV] {21} And at the end of eight days, when he was circumcised, he was called Jesus, the name given by the angel before he was conceived in the womb. {22} And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord {23} (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”) {24} and to offer a sacrifice according to what is said in the Law of the Lord, “a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.” {25} Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. {26} And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ. {27} And he came in the Spirit into the temple, and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him according to the custom of the Law, {28} he took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, {29} “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; {30} for my eyes have seen your salvation {31} that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, {32} a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.”

[Matthew 23:37-39 ESV] {37} “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! {38} See, your house is left to you desolate. {39} For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'”

[Ezekiel 8:1 ESV] {1} In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, with the elders of Judah sitting before me, the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me there.

[Ezekiel 2:1-10 ESV] {1} And he said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you.” {2} And as he spoke to me, the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. {3} And he said to me, “Son of man, I send you to the people of Israel, to nations of rebels, who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me to this very day. {4} The descendants also are impudent and stubborn: I send you to them, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ {5} And whether they hear or refuse to hear (for they are a rebellious house) they will know that a prophet has been among them. {6} And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions. Be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house. {7} And you shall speak my words to them, whether they hear or refuse to hear, for they are a rebellious house. {8} “But you, son of man, hear what I say to you. Be not rebellious like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you.” {9} And when I looked, behold, a hand was stretched out to me, and behold, a scroll of a book was in it. {10} And he spread it before me. And it had writing on the front and on the back, and there were written on it words of lamentation and mourning and woe.

[Ezekiel 3:1-27 ESV] {1} And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.” {2} So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat. {3} And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey. {4} And he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with my words to them. {5} For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel– {6} not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you. {7} But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel have a hard forehead and a stubborn heart. {8} Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads. {9} Like emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.” {10} Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears. {11} And go to the exiles, to your people, and speak to them and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD,’ whether they hear or refuse to hear.” {12} Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of the LORD from its place!” {13} It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great earthquake. {14} The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness in the heat of my spirit, the hand of the LORD being strong upon me. {15} And I came to the exiles at Tel-abib, who were dwelling by the Chebar canal, and I sat where they were dwelling. And I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days. {16} And at the end of seven days, the word of the LORD came to me: {17} “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. {18} If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. {19} But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul. {20} Again, if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and commits injustice, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you have not warned him, he shall die for his sin, and his righteous deeds that he has done shall not be remembered, but his blood I will require at your hand. {21} But if you warn the righteous person not to sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning, and you will have delivered your soul.” {22} And the hand of the LORD was upon me there. And he said to me, “Arise, go out into the valley, and there I will speak with you.” {23} So I arose and went out into the valley, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory that I had seen by the Chebar canal, and I fell on my face. {24} But the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet, and he spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself within your house. {25} And you, O son of man, behold, cords will be placed upon you, and you shall be bound with them, so that you cannot go out among the people. {26} And I will make your tongue cling to the roof of your mouth, so that you shall be mute and unable to reprove them, for they are a rebellious house. {27} But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD.’ He who will hear, let him hear; and he who will refuse to hear, let him refuse, for they are a rebellious house.

[Jeremiah 29:1-14 ESV] {1} These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. {2} This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem. {3} The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said: {4} “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: {5} Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. {6} Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. {7} But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. {8} For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, {9} for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the LORD. {10} “For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. {11} For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. {12} Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. {13} You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. {14} I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

[Jeremiah 28:1-11 ESV] {1} In that same year, at the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the fifth month of the fourth year, Hananiah the son of Azzur, the prophet from Gibeon, spoke to me in the house of the LORD, in the presence of the priests and all the people, saying, {2} “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon. {3} Within two years I will bring back to this place all the vessels of the LORD’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried to Babylon. {4} I will also bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and all the exiles from Judah who went to Babylon, declares the LORD, for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.” {5} Then the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Hananiah the prophet in the presence of the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the LORD, {6} and the prophet Jeremiah said, “Amen! May the LORD do so; may the LORD make the words that you have prophesied come true, and bring back to this place from Babylon the vessels of the house of the LORD, and all the exiles. {7} Yet hear now this word that I speak in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people. {8} The prophets who preceded you and me from ancient times prophesied war, famine, and pestilence against many countries and great kingdoms. {9} As for the prophet who prophesies peace, when the word of that prophet comes to pass, then it will be known that the LORD has truly sent the prophet.” {10} Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke-bars from the neck of Jeremiah the prophet and broke them. {11} And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, “Thus says the LORD: Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all the nations within two years.” But Jeremiah the prophet went his way.

[Genesis 6:9 ESV] {9} These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God.

[Genesis 7:1 ESV] {1} Then the LORD said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.

[Hebrews 11:7 ESV] {7} By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

[Job 1:1-8 ESV] {1} There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. {2} There were born to him seven sons and three daughters. {3} He possessed 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, and 500 female donkeys, and very many servants, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east. {4} His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one on his day, and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. {5} And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and consecrate them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually. {6} Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. {7} The LORD said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Satan answered the LORD and said, “From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down on it.” {8} And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?”

[Daniel 1:1-8 ESV] {1} In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. {2} And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. {3} Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, {4} youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. {5} The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. {6} Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. {7} And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego. {8} But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

[Daniel 10:11 ESV] {11} And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

[Daniel 10:19 ESV] {19} And he said, “O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

[Isaiah 5:1-7 ESV] {1} Let me sing for my beloved my love song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. {2} He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watchtower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; and he looked for it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. {3} And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. {4} What more was there to do for my vineyard, that I have not done in it? When I looked for it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? {5} And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. {6} I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and briers and thorns shall grow up; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. {7} For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are his pleasant planting; and he looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold, an outcry!

[Jeremiah 2:20-21 ESV] {20} “For long ago I broke your yoke and burst your bonds; but you said, ‘I will not serve.’ Yes, on every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down like a whore. {21} Yet I planted you a choice vine, wholly of pure seed. How then have you turned degenerate and become a wild vine?

[Genesis 12:1-3 ESV] {1} Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. {2} And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. {3} I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

[Genesis 13:12-16 ESV] {12} Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled among the cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. {13} Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD. {14} The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, {15} for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. {16} I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.

[Genesis 15:1-6 ESV] {1} After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.” {2} But Abram said, “O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?” {3} And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.” {4} And behold, the word of the LORD came to him: “This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.” {5} And he brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” {6} And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

[Genesis 15:18 ESV] {18} On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

[Genesis 17:15-21 ESV] {15} And God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. {16} I will bless her, and moreover, I will give you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.” {17} Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed and said to himself, “Shall a child be born to a man who is a hundred years old? Shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, bear a child?” {18} And Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!” {19} God said, “No, but Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him. {20} As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I have blessed him and will make him fruitful and multiply him greatly. He shall father twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation. {21} But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this time next year.”

[Genesis 35:9-12 ESV] {9} God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. {10} And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. {11} And God said to him, “I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body. {12} The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.”

[Deuteronomy 12:10-11 ESV] {10} But when you go over the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you to inherit, and when he gives you rest from all your enemies around, so that you live in safety, {11} then to the place that the LORD your God will choose, to make his name dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings and your sacrifices, your tithes and the contribution that you present, and all your finest vow offerings that you vow to the LORD.

[1 Chronicles 11:1-9 ESV] {1} Then all Israel gathered together to David at Hebron and said, “Behold, we are your bone and flesh. {2} In times past, even when Saul was king, it was you who led out and brought in Israel. And the LORD your God said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over my people Israel.'” {3} So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before the LORD. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD by Samuel. {4} And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, that is, Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land. {5} The inhabitants of Jebus said to David, “You will not come in here.” Nevertheless, David took the stronghold of Zion, that is, the city of David. {6} David said, “Whoever strikes the Jebusites first shall be chief and commander.” And Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief. {7} And David lived in the stronghold; therefore it was called the city of David. {8} And he built the city all around from the Millo in complete circuit, and Joab repaired the rest of the city. {9} And David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

[Psalm 132:13-14 ESV] {13} For the LORD has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling place: {14} “This is my resting place forever; here I will dwell, for I have desired it.

[2 Chronicles 6:1-11 ESV] {1} Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness. {2} But I have built you an exalted house, a place for you to dwell in forever.” {3} Then the king turned around and blessed all the assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel stood. {4} And he said, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who with his hand has fulfilled what he promised with his mouth to David my father, saying, {5} ‘Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house, that my name might be there, and I chose no man as prince over my people Israel; {6} but I have chosen Jerusalem that my name may be there, and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’ {7} Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. {8} But the LORD said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart. {9} Nevertheless, it is not you who shall build the house, but your son who shall be born to you shall build the house for my name.’ {10} Now the LORD has fulfilled his promise that he made. For I have risen in the place of David my father and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and I have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel. {11} And there I have set the ark, in which is the covenant of the LORD that he made with the people of Israel.”

[Genesis 10:15-16 ESV] {15} Canaan fathered Sidon his firstborn and Heth, {16} and the Jebusites, the Amorites, the Girgashites,

[Genesis 15:18-21 ESV] {18} On that day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, “To your offspring I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates, {19} the land of the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites, {20} the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim, {21} the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites and the Jebusites.”

[Exodus 3:8 ESV] {8} and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

[2 Chronicles 8:16-18 ESV] {16} Thus was accomplished all the work of Solomon from the day the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed. {17} Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and Eloth on the shore of the sea, in the land of Edom. {18} And Hiram sent to him by the hand of his servants ships and servants familiar with the sea, and they went to Ophir together with the servants of Solomon and brought from there 450 talents of gold and brought it to King Solomon.

[2 Chronicles 9:1-24 ESV] {1} Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test him with hard questions, having a very great retinue and camels bearing spices and very much gold and precious stones. And when she came to Solomon, she told him all that was on her mind. {2} And Solomon answered all her questions. There was nothing hidden from Solomon that he could not explain to her. {3} And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built, {4} the food of his table, the seating of his officials, and the attendance of his servants, and their clothing, his cupbearers, and their clothing, and his burnt offerings that he offered at the house of the LORD, there was no more breath in her. {5} And she said to the king, “The report was true that I heard in my own land of your words and of your wisdom, {6} but I did not believe the reports until I came and my own eyes had seen it. And behold, half the greatness of your wisdom was not told me; you surpass the report that I heard. {7} Happy are your wives! Happy are these your servants, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! {8} Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delighted in you and set you on his throne as king for the LORD your God! Because your God loved Israel and would establish them forever, he has made you king over them, that you may execute justice and righteousness.” {9} Then she gave the king 120 talents of gold, and a very great quantity of spices, and precious stones. There were no spices such as those that the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon. {10} Moreover, the servants of Hiram and the servants of Solomon, who brought gold from Ophir, brought algum wood and precious stones. {11} And the king made from the algum wood supports for the house of the LORD and for the king’s house, lyres also and harps for the singers. There never was seen the like of them before in the land of Judah. {12} And King Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all that she desired, whatever she asked besides what she had brought to the king. So she turned and went back to her own land with her servants. {13} Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold, {14} besides that which the explorers and merchants brought. And all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the land brought gold and silver to Solomon. {15} King Solomon made 200 large shields of beaten gold; 600 shekels of beaten gold went into each shield. {16} And he made 300 shields of beaten gold; 300 shekels of gold went into each shield; and the king put them in the House of the Forest of Lebanon. {17} The king also made a great ivory throne and overlaid it with pure gold. {18} The throne had six steps and a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and on each side of the seat were armrests and two lions standing beside the armrests, {19} while twelve lions stood there, one on each end of a step on the six steps. Nothing like it was ever made for any kingdom. {20} All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were of pure gold. Silver was not considered as anything in the days of Solomon. {21} For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the ships of Tarshish used to come bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks. {22} Thus King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom. {23} And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his mind. {24} Every one of them brought his present, articles of silver and of gold, garments, myrrh, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

[1 Kings 11:1-13 ESV] {1} Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, along with the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women, {2} from the nations concerning which the LORD had said to the people of Israel, “You shall not enter into marriage with them, neither shall they with you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon clung to these in love. {3} He had 700 wives, who were princesses, and 300 concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. {4} For when Solomon was old his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not wholly true to the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. {5} For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. {6} So Solomon did what was evil in the sight of the LORD and did not wholly follow the LORD, as David his father had done. {7} Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Molech the abomination of the Ammonites, on the mountain east of Jerusalem. {8} And so he did for all his foreign wives, who made offerings and sacrificed to their gods. {9} And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice {10} and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not keep what the LORD commanded. {11} Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Since this has been your practice and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes that I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant. {12} Yet for the sake of David your father I will not do it in your days, but I will tear it out of the hand of your son. {13} However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but I will give one tribe to your son, for the sake of David my servant and for the sake of Jerusalem that I have chosen.”

[2 Kings 16:1-20 ESV] {1} In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. {2} Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God, as his father David had done, {3} but he walked in the way of the kings of Israel. He even burned his son as an offering, according to the despicable practices of the nations whom the LORD drove out before the people of Israel. {4} And he sacrificed and made offerings on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree. {5} Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to wage war on Jerusalem, and they besieged Ahaz but could not conquer him. {6} At that time Rezin the king of Syria recovered Elath for Syria and drove the men of Judah from Elath, and the Edomites came to Elath, where they dwell to this day. {7} So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, “I am your servant and your son. Come up and rescue me from the hand of the king of Syria and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are attacking me.” {8} Ahaz also took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king’s house and sent a present to the king of Assyria. {9} And the king of Assyria listened to him. The king of Assyria marched up against Damascus and took it, carrying its people captive to Kir, and he killed Rezin. {10} When King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, he saw the altar that was at Damascus. And King Ahaz sent to Uriah the priest a model of the altar, and its pattern, exact in all its details. {11} And Uriah the priest built the altar; in accordance with all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Uriah the priest made it, before King Ahaz arrived from Damascus. {12} And when the king came from Damascus, the king viewed the altar. Then the king drew near to the altar and went up on it {13} and burned his burnt offering and his grain offering and poured his drink offering and threw the blood of his peace offerings on the altar. {14} And the bronze altar that was before the LORD he removed from the front of the house, from the place between his altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of his altar. {15} And King Ahaz commanded Uriah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening grain offering and the king’s burnt offering and his grain offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their grain offering and their drink offering. And throw on it all the blood of the burnt offering and all the blood of the sacrifice, but the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire by.” {16} Uriah the priest did all this, as King Ahaz commanded. {17} And King Ahaz cut off the frames of the stands and removed the basin from them, and he took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone pedestal. {18} And the covered way for the Sabbath that had been built inside the house and the outer entrance for the king he caused to go around the house of the LORD, because of the king of Assyria. {19} Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? {20} And Ahaz slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David, and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

[Genesis 13:13 ESV] {13} Now the men of Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.

[Genesis 18:20-21 ESV] {20} Then the LORD said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, {21} I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not, I will know.”

[Genesis 18:26 ESV] {26} And the LORD said, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”

[Genesis 18:31-33 ESV] {31} He said, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.” {32} Then he said, “Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak again but this once. Suppose ten are found there.” He answered, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.” {33} And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.

[Genesis 19:4-9 ESV] {4} But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house. {5} And they called to Lot, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, that we may know them.” {6} Lot went out to the men at the entrance, shut the door after him, {7} and said, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly. {8} Behold, I have two daughters who have not known any man. Let me bring them out to you, and do to them as you please. Only do nothing to these men, for they have come under the shelter of my roof.” {9} But they said, “Stand back!” And they said, “This fellow came to sojourn, and he has become the judge! Now we will deal worse with you than with them.” Then they pressed hard against the man Lot, and drew near to break the door down.

[Genesis 19:15 ESV] {15} As morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”

[1 Kings 16:23-24 ESV] {23} In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel, and he reigned for twelve years; six years he reigned in Tirzah. {24} He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, and he fortified the hill and called the name of the city that he built Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.

[1 Kings 16:29-33 ESV] {29} In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. {30} And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him. {31} And as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took for his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him. {32} He erected an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria. {33} And Ahab made an Asherah. Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

[2 Kings 17:24-29 ESV] {24} And the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the people of Israel. And they took possession of Samaria and lived in its cities. {25} And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the LORD. Therefore the LORD sent lions among them, which killed some of them. {26} So the king of Assyria was told, “The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land.” {27} Then the king of Assyria commanded, “Send there one of the priests whom you carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the god of the land.” {28} So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel and taught them how they should fear the LORD. {29} But every nation still made gods of its own and put them in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they lived.

[Ephesians 5:25-32 ESV] {25} Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, {26} that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, {27} so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. {28} In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. {29} For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, {30} because we are members of his body. {31} “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” {32} This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.

[Revelation 19:7-9 ESV] {7} Let us rejoice and exult and give him the glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and his Bride has made herself ready; {8} it was granted her to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure”– for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. {9} And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”

[2 Corinthians 11:2-3 ESV] {2} For I feel a divine jealousy for you, since I betrothed you to one husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ. {3} But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

[James 4:4 ESV] {4} You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

[Jeremiah 37:1-10 ESV] {1} Zedekiah the son of Josiah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah, reigned instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim. {2} But neither he nor his servants nor the people of the land listened to the words of the LORD that he spoke through Jeremiah the prophet. {3} King Zedekiah sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the priest, the son of Maaseiah, to Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “Please pray for us to the LORD our God.” {4} Now Jeremiah was still going in and out among the people, for he had not yet been put in prison. {5} The army of Pharaoh had come out of Egypt. And when the Chaldeans who were besieging Jerusalem heard news about them, they withdrew from Jerusalem. {6} Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: {7} “Thus says the LORD, God of Israel: Thus shall you say to the king of Judah who sent you to me to inquire of me, ‘Behold, Pharaoh’s army that came to help you is about to return to Egypt, to its own land. {8} And the Chaldeans shall come back and fight against this city. They shall capture it and burn it with fire. {9} Thus says the LORD, Do not deceive yourselves, saying, “The Chaldeans will surely go away from us,” for they will not go away. {10} For even if you should defeat the whole army of Chaldeans who are fighting against you, and there remained of them only wounded men, every man in his tent, they would rise up and burn this city with fire.'”

[2 Chronicles 36:13 ESV] {13} He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. He stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.

[Jeremiah 14:6 ESV] {6} The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.

[Jeremiah 31:27-30 ESV] {27} “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. {28} And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the LORD. {29} In those days they shall no longer say: “‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ {30} But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

[2 Kings 23:31-34 ESV] {31} Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {32} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done. {33} And Pharaoh Neco put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem, and laid on the land a tribute of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold. {34} And Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim. But he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.

[2 Kings 24:6-16 ESV] {6} So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers, and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his place. {7} And the king of Egypt did not come again out of his land, for the king of Babylon had taken all that belonged to the king of Egypt from the Brook of Egypt to the river Euphrates. {8} Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem. {9} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done. {10} At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged. {11} And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to the city while his servants were besieging it, {12} and Jehoiachin the king of Judah gave himself up to the king of Babylon, himself and his mother and his servants and his officials and his palace officials. The king of Babylon took him prisoner in the eighth year of his reign {13} and carried off all the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king’s house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold in the temple of the LORD, which Solomon king of Israel had made, as the LORD had foretold. {14} He carried away all Jerusalem and all the officials and all the mighty men of valor, 10,000 captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths. None remained, except the poorest people of the land. {15} And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon. The king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officials, and the chief men of the land he took into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon. {16} And the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valor, 7,000, and the craftsmen and the metal workers, 1,000, all of them strong and fit for war.

[2 Kings 24:17-20 ESV] {17} And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah, Jehoiachin’s uncle, king in his place, and changed his name to Zedekiah. {18} Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. {19} And he did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. {20} For because of the anger of the LORD it came to the point in Jerusalem and Judah that he cast them out from his presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

[2 Kings 25:1-7 ESV] {1} And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it. {2} So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. {3} On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. {4} Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. {5} But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. {6} Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him. {7} They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains and took him to Babylon.

[Ezekiel 8:1 ESV] {1} In the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, with the elders of Judah sitting before me, the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me there.

[Jeremiah 27:1-7 ESV] {1} In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD. {2} Thus the LORD said to me: “Make yourself straps and yoke-bars, and put them on your neck. {3} Send word to the king of Edom, the king of Moab, the king of the sons of Ammon, the king of Tyre, and the king of Sidon by the hand of the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah. {4} Give them this charge for their masters: ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: This is what you shall say to your masters: {5} “It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. {6} Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I have given him also the beasts of the field to serve him. {7} All the nations shall serve him and his son and his grandson, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings shall make him their slave.

[Daniel 4:1-3 ESV] {1} King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you! {2} It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me. {3} How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation.

[Daniel 4:4-33 ESV] {4} I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace. {5} I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me. {6} So I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. {7} Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers came in, and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation. {8} At last Daniel came in before me–he who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods–and I told him the dream, saying, {9} “O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too difficult for you, tell me the visions of my dream that I saw and their interpretation. {10} The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. {11} The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. {12} Its leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. {13} “I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven. {14} He proclaimed aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches. {15} But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven. Let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. {16} Let his mind be changed from a man’s, and let a beast’s mind be given to him; and let seven periods of time pass over him. {17} The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.’ {18} This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.” {19} Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was dismayed for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, “Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies! {20} The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth, {21} whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens lived– {22} it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth. {23} And because the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven periods of time pass over him,’ {24} this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king, {25} that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. {26} And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules. {27} Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.” {28} All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. {29} At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, {30} and the king answered and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?” {31} While the words were still in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you, {32} and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.” {33} Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles’ feathers, and his nails were like birds’ claws.

[Daniel 4:34-37 ESV] {34} At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; {35} all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” {36} At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me. {37} Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

[Isaiah 44:28 ESV] {28} who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill all my purpose’; saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’ and of the temple, ‘Your foundation shall be laid.'”

[Isaiah 45:1 ESV] {1} Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped, to subdue nations before him and to loose the belts of kings, to open doors before him that gates may not be closed:

[2 Chronicles 36:22-23 ESV] {22} Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing: {23} “Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, ‘The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may the LORD his God be with him. Let him go up.'”

[Ezekiel 16:27, 43, 58 ESV] {27} Behold, therefore, I stretched out my hand against you and diminished your allotted portion and delivered you to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd behavior. … {43} Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things, therefore, behold, I have returned your deeds upon your head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed lewdness in addition to all your abominations? … {58} You bear the penalty of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.

[Ezekiel 21:31 ESV] {31} And I will pour out my indignation upon you; I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of brutish men, skillful to destroy.

[Ezekiel 13:2-14 ESV] {2} “Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: ‘Hear the word of the LORD!’ {3} Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! {4} Your prophets have been like jackals among ruins, O Israel. {5} You have not gone up into the breaches, or built up a wall for the house of Israel, that it might stand in battle in the day of the LORD. {6} They have seen false visions and lying divinations. They say, ‘Declares the LORD,’ when the LORD has not sent them, and yet they expect him to fulfill their word. {7} Have you not seen a false vision and uttered a lying divination, whenever you have said, ‘Declares the LORD,’ although I have not spoken?” {8} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: “Because you have uttered falsehood and seen lying visions, therefore behold, I am against you, declares the Lord GOD. {9} My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and who give lying divinations. They shall not be in the council of my people, nor be enrolled in the register of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord GOD. {10} Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash, {11} say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! There will be a deluge of rain, and you, O great hailstones, will fall, and a stormy wind break out. {12} And when the wall falls, will it not be said to you, ‘Where is the coating with which you smeared it?’ {13} Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: I will make a stormy wind break out in my wrath, and there shall be a deluge of rain in my anger, and great hailstones in wrath to make a full end. {14} And I will break down the wall that you have smeared with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation will be laid bare. When it falls, you shall perish in the midst of it, and you shall know that I am the LORD.

[Exodus 32:11-14 ESV] {11} But Moses implored the LORD his God and said, “O LORD, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? {12} Why should the Egyptians say, ‘With evil intent did he bring them out, to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth’? Turn from your burning anger and relent from this disaster against your people. {13} Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.'” {14} And the LORD relented from the disaster that he had spoken of bringing on his people.

[Psalm 106:19-23 ESV] {19} They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. {20} They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. {21} They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, {22} wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. {23} Therefore he said he would destroy them– had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

[1 John 1:5-10 ESV] {5} This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. {6} If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. {7} But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. {8} If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. {9} If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. {10} If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

[1 Corinthians 10:11 ESV] {11} Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come.

[Genesis 19:29-38 ESV] {29} So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had lived. {30} Now Lot went up out of Zoar and lived in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to live in Zoar. So he lived in a cave with his two daughters. {31} And the firstborn said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the earth. {32} Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” {33} So they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father. He did not know when she lay down or when she arose. {34} The next day, the firstborn said to the younger, “Behold, I lay last night with my father. Let us make him drink wine tonight also. Then you go in and lie with him, that we may preserve offspring from our father.” {35} So they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose. {36} Thus both the daughters of Lot became pregnant by their father. {37} The firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab. He is the father of the Moabites to this day. {38} The younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-ammi. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day.

[Genesis 32:3 ESV] {3} And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom,

[Genesis 10:1, 6, 13-14 ESV] {1} These are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood. … {6} The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. … {13} Egypt fathered Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, {14} Pathrusim, Casluhim (from whom the Philistines came), and Caphtorim.

[2 Timothy 2:15 ESV] {15} Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

[Proverbs 16:18 ESV] {18} Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

[Daniel 10:1-21 ESV] {1} In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar. And the word was true, and it was a great conflict. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision. {2} In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. {3} I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks. {4} On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris) {5} I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. {6} His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude. {7} And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves. {8} So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me. My radiant appearance was fearfully changed, and I retained no strength. {9} Then I heard the sound of his words, and as I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground. {10} And behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. {11} And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly loved, understand the words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for now I have been sent to you.” And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling. {12} Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. {13} The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days, but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, {14} and came to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.” {15} When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and was mute. {16} And behold, one in the likeness of the children of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke. I said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by reason of the vision pains have come upon me, and I retain no strength. {17} How can my lord’s servant talk with my lord? For now no strength remains in me, and no breath is left in me.” {18} Again one having the appearance of a man touched me and strengthened me. {19} And he said, “O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage.” And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.” {20} Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come. {21} But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.

[Revelation 12:7-10 ESV] {7} Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, {8} but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. {9} And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world–he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. {10} And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

[Genesis 3:1-24 ESV] {1} Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” {2} And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, {3} but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'” {4} But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. {5} For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” {6} So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. {7} Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. {8} And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. {9} But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” {10} And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” {11} He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” {12} The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” {13} Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” {14} The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life. {15} I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.” {16} To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.” {17} And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life; {18} thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field. {19} By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” {20} The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. {21} And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. {22} Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever–” {23} therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. {24} He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

[Revelation 20:1-2, 7-10 ESV] {1} Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. {2} And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, … {7} And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison {8} and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. {9} And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, {10} and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

[Matthew 25:41 ESV] {41} “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

[Genesis 12:3 ESV] {3} I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

[2 Kings 25:1-12 ESV] {1} And in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came with all his army against Jerusalem and laid siege to it. And they built siegeworks all around it. {2} So the city was besieged till the eleventh year of King Zedekiah. {3} On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was so severe in the city that there was no food for the people of the land. {4} Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, by the king’s garden, and the Chaldeans were around the city. And they went in the direction of the Arabah. {5} But the army of the Chaldeans pursued the king and overtook him in the plains of Jericho, and all his army was scattered from him. {6} Then they captured the king and brought him up to the king of Babylon at Riblah, and they passed sentence on him. {7} They slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah and bound him in chains and took him to Babylon. {8} In the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month–that was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon–Nebuzaradan, the captain of the bodyguard, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem. {9} And he burned the house of the LORD and the king’s house and all the houses of Jerusalem; every great house he burned down. {10} And all the army of the Chaldeans, who were with the captain of the guard, broke down the walls around Jerusalem. {11} And the rest of the people who were left in the city and the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon, together with the rest of the multitude, Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried into exile. {12} But the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

[Ezekiel 24:1-2 ESV] {1} In the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: {2} “Son of man, write down the name of this day, this very day. The king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem this very day.

[Jeremiah 42:1-22 ESV] {1} Then all the commanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near {2} and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Let our plea for mercy come before you, and pray to the LORD your God for us, for all this remnant–because we are left with but a few, as your eyes see us– {3} that the LORD your God may show us the way we should go, and the thing that we should do.” {4} Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your request, and whatever the LORD answers you I will tell you. I will keep nothing back from you.” {5} Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act according to all the word with which the LORD your God sends you to us. {6} Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God.” {7} At the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah. {8} Then he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest, {9} and said to them, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea for mercy before him: {10} If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent of the disaster that I did to you. {11} Do not fear the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares the LORD, for I am with you, to save you and to deliver you from his hand. {12} I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and let you remain in your own land. {13} But if you say, ‘We will not remain in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the LORD your God {14} and saying, ‘No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’ {15} then hear the word of the LORD, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to enter Egypt and go to live there, {16} then the sword that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, and there you shall die. {17} All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have no remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them. {18} “For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more. {19} The LORD has said to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for a certainty that I have warned you this day {20} that you have gone astray at the cost of your lives. For you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the LORD our God, and whatever the LORD our God says, declare to us and we will do it.’ {21} And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in anything that he sent me to tell you. {22} Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”

[Jeremiah 43:1-13 ESV] {1} When Jeremiah finished speaking to all the people all these words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, {2} Azariah the son of Hoshaiah and Johanan the son of Kareah and all the insolent men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling a lie. The LORD our God did not send you to say, ‘Do not go to Egypt to live there,’ {3} but Baruch the son of Neriah has set you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may kill us or take us into exile in Babylon.” {4} So Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces and all the people did not obey the voice of the LORD, to remain in the land of Judah. {5} But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took all the remnant of Judah who had returned to live in the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been driven– {6} the men, the women, the children, the princesses, and every person whom Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan; also Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah. {7} And they came into the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the LORD. And they arrived at Tahpanhes. {8} Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes: {9} “Take in your hands large stones and hide them in the mortar in the pavement that is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah, {10} and say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden, and he will spread his royal canopy over them. {11} He shall come and strike the land of Egypt, giving over to the pestilence those who are doomed to the pestilence, to captivity those who are doomed to captivity, and to the sword those who are doomed to the sword. {12} I shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away captive. And he shall clean the land of Egypt as a shepherd cleans his cloak of vermin, and he shall go away from there in peace. {13} He shall break the obelisks of Heliopolis, which is in the land of Egypt, and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.'”

[Jeremiah 44:1-30 ESV] {1} The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who lived in the land of Egypt, at Migdol, at Tahpanhes, at Memphis, and in the land of Pathros, {2} “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You have seen all the disaster that I brought upon Jerusalem and upon all the cities of Judah. Behold, this day they are a desolation, and no one dwells in them, {3} because of the evil that they committed, provoking me to anger, in that they went to make offerings and serve other gods that they knew not, neither they, nor you, nor your fathers. {4} Yet I persistently sent to you all my servants the prophets, saying, ‘Oh, do not do this abomination that I hate!’ {5} But they did not listen or incline their ear, to turn from their evil and make no offerings to other gods. {6} Therefore my wrath and my anger were poured out and kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, and they became a waste and a desolation, as at this day. {7} And now thus says the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against yourselves, to cut off from you man and woman, infant and child, from the midst of Judah, leaving you no remnant? {8} Why do you provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, making offerings to other gods in the land of Egypt where you have come to live, so that you may be cut off and become a curse and a taunt among all the nations of the earth? {9} Have you forgotten the evil of your fathers, the evil of the kings of Judah, the evil of their wives, your own evil, and the evil of your wives, which they committed in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? {10} They have not humbled themselves even to this day, nor have they feared, nor walked in my law and my statutes that I set before you and before your fathers. {11} “Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will set my face against you for harm, to cut off all Judah. {12} I will take the remnant of Judah who have set their faces to come to the land of Egypt to live, and they shall all be consumed. In the land of Egypt they shall fall; by the sword and by famine they shall be consumed. From the least to the greatest, they shall die by the sword and by famine, and they shall become an oath, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. {13} I will punish those who dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have punished Jerusalem, with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, {14} so that none of the remnant of Judah who have come to live in the land of Egypt shall escape or survive or return to the land of Judah, to which they desire to return to dwell there. For they shall not return, except some fugitives.” {15} Then all the men who knew that their wives had made offerings to other gods, and all the women who stood by, a great assembly, all the people who lived in Pathros in the land of Egypt, answered Jeremiah: {16} “As for the word that you have spoken to us in the name of the LORD, we will not listen to you. {17} But we will do everything that we have vowed, make offerings to the queen of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her, as we did, both we and our fathers, our kings and our officials, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, and prospered, and saw no disaster. {18} But since we left off making offerings to the queen of heaven and pouring out drink offerings to her, we have lacked everything and have been consumed by the sword and by famine.” {19} And the women said, “When we made offerings to the queen of heaven and poured out drink offerings to her, was it without our husbands’ approval that we made cakes for her bearing her image and poured out drink offerings to her?” {20} Then Jeremiah said to all the people, men and women, all the people who had given him this answer: {21} “As for the offerings that you offered in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers, your kings and your officials, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them? Did it not come into his mind? {22} The LORD could no longer bear your evil deeds and the abominations that you committed. Therefore your land has become a desolation and a waste and a curse, without inhabitant, as it is this day. {23} It is because you made offerings and because you sinned against the LORD and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies that this disaster has happened to you, as at this day.” {24} Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, “Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who are in the land of Egypt. {25} Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: You and your wives have declared with your mouths, and have fulfilled it with your hands, saying, ‘We will surely perform our vows that we have made, to make offerings to the queen of heaven and to pour out drink offerings to her.’ Then confirm your vows and perform your vows! {26} Therefore hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold, I have sworn by my great name, says the LORD, that my name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, ‘As the Lord GOD lives.’ {27} Behold, I am watching over them for disaster and not for good. All the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by famine, until there is an end of them. {28} And those who escape the sword shall return from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, few in number; and all the remnant of Judah, who came to the land of Egypt to live, shall know whose word will stand, mine or theirs. {29} This shall be the sign to you, declares the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, in order that you may know that my words will surely stand against you for harm: {30} Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies and into the hand of those who seek his life, as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, who was his enemy and sought his life.”

[Isaiah 19:1-25 ESV] {1} An oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and comes to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. {2} And I will stir up Egyptians against Egyptians, and they will fight, each against another and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom; {3} and the spirit of the Egyptians within them will be emptied out, and I will confound their counsel; and they will inquire of the idols and the sorcerers, and the mediums and the necromancers; {4} and I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a hard master, and a fierce king will rule over them, declares the Lord GOD of hosts. {5} And the waters of the sea will be dried up, and the river will be dry and parched, {6} and its canals will become foul, and the branches of Egypt’s Nile will diminish and dry up, reeds and rushes will rot away. {7} There will be bare places by the Nile, on the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile will be parched, will be driven away, and will be no more. {8} The fishermen will mourn and lament, all who cast a hook in the Nile; and they will languish who spread nets on the water. {9} The workers in combed flax will be in despair, and the weavers of white cotton. {10} Those who are the pillars of the land will be crushed, and all who work for pay will be grieved. {11} The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish; the wisest counselors of Pharaoh give stupid counsel. How can you say to Pharaoh, “I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings”? {12} Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you that they might know what the LORD of hosts has purposed against Egypt. {13} The princes of Zoan have become fools, and the princes of Memphis are deluded; those who are the cornerstones of her tribes have made Egypt stagger. {14} The LORD has mingled within her a spirit of confusion, and they will make Egypt stagger in all its deeds, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit. {15} And there will be nothing for Egypt that head or tail, palm branch or reed, may do. {16} In that day the Egyptians will be like women, and tremble with fear before the hand that the LORD of hosts shakes over them. {17} And the land of Judah will become a terror to the Egyptians. Everyone to whom it is mentioned will fear because of the purpose that the LORD of hosts has purposed against them. {18} In that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the LORD of hosts. One of these will be called the City of Destruction. {19} In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD at its border. {20} It will be a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt. When they cry to the LORD because of oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and deliver them. {21} And the LORD will make himself known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day and worship with sacrifice and offering, and they will make vows to the LORD and perform them. {22} And the LORD will strike Egypt, striking and healing, and they will return to the LORD, and he will listen to their pleas for mercy and heal them. {23} In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. {24} In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, {25} whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.”

[2 Kings 25:27-30 ESV] {27} And in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, graciously freed Jehoiachin king of Judah from prison. {28} And he spoke kindly to him and gave him a seat above the seats of the kings who were with him in Babylon. {29} So Jehoiachin put off his prison garments. And every day of his life he dined regularly at the king’s table, {30} and for his allowance, a regular allowance was given him by the king, according to his daily needs, as long as he lived.
