"Even all¹ nationsª shall say,ª° Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land?ª what¹ [meaneth] the heatª of this¹ greatª anger?ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:24-28} + "Then will I pluck them up by the rootsª° out of¹¹ my landª which¹ I have givenª° them; and this¹ house,ª which¹ I have sanctifiedª° for my name,ª will I cast outª° of¹¹ my sight,ª and will makeª° it [to be] a proverbª and a bywordª among all¹ nations.ª ... And it shall be answered,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ brought them forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and laid holdª° on otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath he broughtª°¹ all¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ them." {2Ch 7:20-22} + "LORD,ª [when] thy handª is lifted up,²°¹ they will not¹ see:ª° [but] they shall see,ª° and be ashamedª° for [their] envyª at the people;ª yea,¹ the fireª of thine enemiesª shall devourª° them." {Isa 26:11} + "And the captainª of the guardª tookª° Jeremiah,ª and saidª° unto¹ him, The LORDª thy Godª hath pronouncedª°¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ this¹ place.ª ... Now the LORDª hath broughtª° [it], and doneª° according as¹ he hath said:ª° because¹ ye have sinnedª° against the LORD,ª and have not¹ obeyedª° his voice,ª therefore this¹ thingª is come¹ upon you." {Jer 40:2-3} + "All¹ thine enemiesª° have openedª° their mouthª against¹ thee: they hissª° and gnashª° the teeth:ª they say,ª° We have swallowed [her] up:ª° certainlyª this¹ [is] the dayª that we looked for;ª°¹ we have found,ª° we have seenª° [it]. ... The LORDª hath doneª° [that] which¹ he had devised;ª° he hath fulfilledª° his wordª that¹ he had commandedª° in the daysª¹ of old:ª he hath thrown down,ª° and hath not¹ pitied:ª° and he hath caused [thine] enemyª° to rejoiceª° over¹ thee, he hath set upª° the hornª of thine adversaries.ª" {Lam 2:16-17} |
