  • Leviticus 26:33
    I will scatter you among the nations and draw out a sword after you;your land shall be desolate and your cities waste.
     
  • Jeremiah 7:1-14
    The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, “Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship the LORD!’” Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in these lying words, saying, "The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD are these." "For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. "Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, "We are delivered to do all these abominations"? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it," says the LORD. "But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works,” says the LORD, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.
     
  • Lamentations 2:1-7
    How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion
    With a cloud in His anger!
    He cast down from heaven to the earth
    The beauty of Israel,
    And did not remember His footstool
    In the day of His anger.
    The Lord has swallowed up and has not pitied
    All the dwelling places of Jacob.
    He has thrown down in His wrath
    The strongholds of the daughter of Judah;
    He has brought them down to the ground;
    He has profaned the kingdom and its princes.
    He has cut off in fierce anger
    Every horn of Israel;
    He has drawn back His right hand
    From before the enemy.
    He has blazed against Jacob like a flaming fire
    Devouring all around.
    Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow;
    With His right hand, like an adversary,
    He has slain all who were pleasing to His eye;
    On the tent of the daughter of Zion,
    He has poured out His fury like fire.
    The Lord was like an enemy.
    He has swallowed up Israel,
    He has swallowed up all her palaces;
    He has destroyed her strongholds,
    And has increased mourning and lamentation
    In the daughter of Judah.
    He has done violence to His tabernacle,
    As if it werea garden;
    He has destroyed His place of assembly;
    The LORD has caused
    The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion.
    In His burning indignation He has spurned the king and the priest.
    The Lord has spurned His altar,
    He has abandoned His sanctuary;
    He has given up the walls of her palaces
    Into the hand of the enemy.
    They have made a noise in the house of the LORD
    As on the day of a set feast.

    Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints.

    And let the skies pour down righteousness;
    Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
    And let righteousness spring up together.
    I, the LORD, have created it.
    ' Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
    Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
    Shall the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?'
    Or shall your handiwork say, 'He has no hands'?
    Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’
    Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
    Thus says the LORD,
    The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:
    “ Ask Me of things to come concerning My sons;
    And concerning the work of My hands, you command Me.
    I have made the earth,
    And created man on it.
    I—My hands—stretched out the heavens,
    And all their host I have commanded.
    I have raised him up in righteousness,
    And I will direct all his ways;
    He shall build My city
    And let My exiles go free,
    Not for price nor reward,”
    Says the LORD of hosts.
     
  • 1 Corinthians 1:11-12

  • 1 Corinthians 3:3-5
    for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?

    "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, "These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing"—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
