Israel’s Redemption
On that day the Lord with his cruel and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.

Praise for Deliverance from Oppression
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

Therefore strong peoplesContinue reading “Praise for Deliverance from Oppression”
A Warning of Destruction of Jerusalem
The oracle concerning the valley of vision. What do you mean that you have gone up, all of you, to the housetops, you that are full of shoutings, tumultuous city, exultant town?

TheContinue reading “The Restoration of David’s Kingdom”
Locusts, Fire, and a Plumb Line
This is what the Lord God showed me: he was forming locusts at the time the latter growth began to sprout (it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings). When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, “O Lord God, forgive, I beg you! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!” The Lord relented concerning this;Continue reading “Locusts, Fire, and a Plumb Line”
Complacent Self Indulgent Punished
If ten people remain in one house, they shall die. And if a relative, one who burns the dead, shall take up the body to bring it out of the house, and shall say to someone in the innermost parts of the house, “Is anyone else with you?” the answer will come, “No.” Then the relativeContinue reading “Complacent Self Indulgent Punished”
