9:15 The leaders and the highly respected people are the head,
the prophets who teach lies are the tail.
13:12 I will make human beings more scarce than pure gold,
and people more scarce than gold from Ophir.
24:4 The earth dries up and withers,
the world shrivels up and withers;
the prominent people of the earth fade away.
28:14 Therefore, listen to the Lord’s word,
you who mock,
you rulers of these people
who reside in Jerusalem!
30:9 For these are rebellious people –
they are lying children,
children unwilling to obey the Lord’s law.
33:24 No resident of Zion will say, “I am ill”;
the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.
52:9 In unison give a joyful shout,
O ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord consoles his people;
he protects Jerusalem.
57:14 He says,
“Build it! Build it! Clear a way!
Remove all the obstacles out of the way of my people!”
63:8 He said, “Certainly they will be my people,
children who are not disloyal.”
He became their deliverer.
65:3 These people continually and blatantly offend me
as they sacrifice in their sacred orchards
and burn incense on brick altars.
