  'I will ascend into heaven,
  I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
  I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
  On the farthest sides of the north;
  I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
  I will be like the Most High.'
  
   
• Ezekiel 28:12-17
  "Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, 'Thus says the Lord GOD:
  "You were the seal of perfection,
  Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.
  You were in Eden, the garden of God;
  Every precious stone was your covering:
  The sardius, topaz, and diamond,
  Beryl, onyx, and jasper,
  Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.
  The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes
  Was prepared for you on the day you were created.
  "You were the anointed cherub who covers;
  I established you;
  You were on the holy mountain of God;
  You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
  You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
  Till iniquity was found in you.
  "By the abundance of your trading
  You became filled with violence within,
  And you sinned;
  Therefore I cast you as a profane thing
  Out of the mountain of God;
  And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,
  From the midst of the fiery stones.
  "Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;
  You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;
  I cast you to the ground,
  I laid you before kings,
  That they might gaze at you.
  
   
• 2 Timothy 3:1-5
  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
   
• Job 29:7-17
  “When I went out to the gate by the city,
  When I took my seat in the open square, The young men saw me and hid,
  And the aged arose and stood; The princes refrained from talking,
  And put their hand on their mouth; The voice of nobles was hushed,
  And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth. When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
  And when the eye saw, then it approved me; Because I delivered the poor who cried out,
  The fatherless and the one who had no helper. The blessing of a perishing man came upon me,
  And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
  My justice was like a robe and a turban. I was eyes to the blind,
  And I was feet to the lame. I was a father to the poor,
  And I searched out the case that I did not know. I broke the fangs of the wicked,
  And plucked the victim from his teeth.
   
• Romans 1:18-21
  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
   
• Revelation 3:17-19

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

  Until I went into the sanctuary of God;
  Then I understood their end. Surely You set them in slippery places;
  You cast them down to destruction.

  They are utterly consumed with terrors.
  As a dream when one awakes,
  So, Lord, when You awake,
  You shall despise their image.

  Nor be overly wise:
  Why should you destroy yourself?
  Do not be overly wicked,
  Nor be foolish:
  Why should you die before your time?
  It is good that you grasp this,
  And also not remove your hand from the other;
  For he who fears God will escape them all.
