1:12 When you enter my presence,
do you actually think I want this –
animals trampling on my courtyards?
10:10 I overpowered kingdoms ruled by idols,
whose carved images were more impressive than Jerusalem’s or Samaria’s.
13:12 I will make human beings more scarce than pure gold,
and people more scarce than gold from Ophir.
14:26 This is the plan I have devised for the whole earth;
my hand is ready to strike all the nations.”
19:2 “I will provoke civil strife in Egypt,
brothers will fight with each other,
as will neighbors,
cities, and kingdoms.
28:23 Pay attention and listen to my message!
Be attentive and listen to what I have to say!
29:2 I will threaten Ariel,
and she will mourn intensely
and become like an altar hearth before me.
30:7 Egypt is totally incapable of helping.
For this reason I call her
‘Proud one who is silenced.’”
32:9 You complacent women,
get up and listen to me!
You carefree daughters,
pay attention to what I say!
33:13 You who are far away, listen to what I have done!
You who are close by, recognize my strength!”
33:24 No resident of Zion will say, “I am ill”;
the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.
43:28 So I defiled your holy princes,
and handed Jacob over to destruction,
and subjected Israel to humiliating abuse.”
46:5 To whom can you compare and liken me?
Tell me whom you think I resemble, so we can be compared!
48:13 Yes, my hand founded the earth;
my right hand spread out the sky.
I summon them;
they stand together.
56:8 The sovereign Lord says this,
the one who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will still gather them up.”
57:12 I will denounce your so-called righteousness and your deeds,
but they will not help you.
66:13 As a mother consoles a child,
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
