  • Jeremiah 25:15-32
    For thus says the LORD God of Israel to me: “Take this wine cup of fury from My hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it. And they will drink and stagger and go mad because of the sword that I will send among them.” Then I took the cup from the LORD’s hand, and made all the nations drink, to whom the LORD had sent me: Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day; Pharaoh king of Egypt, his servants, his princes, and all his people; all the mixed multitude, all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the land of the Philistines (namely, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod); Edom, Moab, and the people of Ammon; all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the coastlands which are across the sea; Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who are in the farthest corners; all the kings of Arabia and all the kings of the mixed multitude who dwell in the desert; all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes; all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world which are on the face of the earth. Also the king of Sheshach shall drink after them. 'Therefore you shall say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Drink, be drunk, and vomit! Fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you." And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup from your hand to drink, then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “You shall certainly drink! For behold, I begin to bring calamity on the city which is called by My name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished, for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,” says the LORD of hosts.’ “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and say to them:
    ‘ The LORD will roar from on high,
    And utter His voice from His holy habitation;
    He will roar mightily against His fold.
    He will give a shout, as those who tread the grapes,
    Against all the inhabitants of the earth.
    A noise will come to the ends of the earth—
    For the LORD has a controversy with the nations;
    He will plead His case with all flesh.
    He will give those who are wicked to the sword,’ says the LORD.” Thus says the LORD of hosts:
    “ Behold, disaster shall go forth
    From nation to nation,
    And a great whirlwind shall be raised up
    From the farthest parts of the earth.
     
  • Ezekiel 9:4-6
    and the LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and cry over all the abominations that are done within it." To the others He said in my hearing, "Go after him through the city and kill; do not let your eye spare, nor have any pity. Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary." So they began with the elders who were before the temple.
     
  • Amos 8:11-14
    "Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD,
    "That I will send a famine on the land,
    Not a famine of bread,
    Nor a thirst for water,
    But of hearing the words of the LORD.
    They shall wander from sea to sea,
    And from north to east;
    They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the LORD,
    But shall not find it.
    "In that day the fair virgins
    And strong young men
    Shall faint from thirst.
    Those who swear by the sin of Samaria,
    Who say,
    "As your god lives, O Dan!"
    And, "As the way of Beersheba lives!"
    They shall fall and never rise again."
     
  • Amos 5:14-15
    Seek good and not evil,
    That you may live;
    So the LORD God of hosts will be with you,
    As you have spoken.
    Hate evil, love good;
    Establish justice in the gate.
    It may be that the LORD God of hosts
    Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
     
  • Amos 6:3-5
    Woe to you who put far off the day of doom,
    Who cause the seat of violence to come near;
    Who lie on beds of ivory,
    Stretch out on your couches,
    Eat lambs from the flock
    And calves from the midst of the stall;
    Who sing idly to the sound of stringed instruments,
    And invent for yourselves musical instruments like David;

     
  • Amos 8:2-3
    And He said, "Amos, what do you see?" So I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me:
    "The end has come upon My people Israel;
    I will not pass by them anymore.
    And the songs of the temple
    Shall be wailing in that day,"
    Says the Lord GOD—
    "Many dead bodies everywhere,
    They shall be thrown out in silence."
