I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.Isaiah 45:11Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands!Isaiah 65:1“I am inquired of by those who didn’t ask; I am found by those who didn’t seek me: I said, See me, see me, to a nation that was not called by my name.Isaiah 65:2I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;Isaiah 65:3a people who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on bricks;Isaiah 65:4who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig’s flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;Isaiah 65:5who say, Stand by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.

Will he keep it to the end?’ Behold, you have spoken and have done evil things, and have had your way.”Jeremiah 3:6Moreover, Yahweh said to me in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and there has played the prostitute.Jeremiah 3:7I said after she had done all these things, ‘She will return to me;’ but she didn’t return; and her treacherous sister Judah saw it.Jeremiah 3:8I saw, when, for this very cause that backsliding Israel had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a bill of divorce, yet treacherous Judah, her sister, didn’t fear; but she also went and played the prostitute.Jeremiah 3:9It happened through the lightness of her prostitution, that the land was polluted, and she committed adultery with stones and with stocks.Jeremiah 3:10Yet for all this her treacherous sister, Judah, has not returned to me with her whole heart, but only in pretense,” says Yahweh.Jeremiah 3:11Yahweh said to me, “Backsliding Israel has shown herself more righteous than treacherous Judah.Jeremiah 3:12Go, and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, ‘Return, you backsliding Israel,’ says Yahweh; ‘I will not look in anger on you; for I am merciful,’ says Yahweh. ‘I will not keep anger forever.Jeremiah 3:13Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against Yahweh your God, and have scattered your ways to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice,’ says Yahweh.”Jeremiah 3:14“Return, backsliding children,” says Yahweh; “for I am a husband to you.

The nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.”Jeremiah 4:3For thus says Yahweh to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem, “Break up your fallow ground, and don’t sow among thorns.Jeremiah 4:4Circumcise yourselves to Yahweh, and take away the foreskins of your heart, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn so that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.Jeremiah 4:5Declare in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, ‘Blow the trumpet in the land!’ Cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble yourselves! Let us go into the fortified cities!’Jeremiah 4:6Set up a standard toward Zion. Flee for safety! Don’t wait; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.”Jeremiah 4:7A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations; he is on his way, he is gone forth from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.Jeremiah 4:8For this clothe yourself with sackcloth, lament and wail; for the fierce anger of Yahweh hasn’t turned back from us.Jeremiah 4:9“It shall happen at that day,” says Yahweh, “that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.”Jeremiah 4:10Then I said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh! Surely you have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall have peace;’ whereas the sword reaches to the heart.”Jeremiah 4:11At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, “A hot wind from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow, nor to cleanse;Jeremiah 4:12a full wind from these shall come for me. Now I will also utter judgments against them.”Jeremiah 4:13Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! For we are ruined.Jeremiah 4:14Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long shall your evil thoughts lodge within you?Jeremiah 4:15For a voice declares from Dan, and publishes evil from the hills of Ephraim:Jeremiah 4:16“Tell the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, ‘Watchers come from a far country, and raise their voice against the cities of Judah.Jeremiah 4:17As keepers of a field, they are against her all around, because she has been rebellious against me,’” says Yahweh.Jeremiah 4:18“Your way and your doings have brought these things to you. This is your wickedness; for it is bitter, for it reaches to your heart.”Jeremiah 4:19My anguish, my anguish!

They are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are skillful in doing evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.”Jeremiah 4:23I saw the earth, and, behold, it was waste and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.Jeremiah 4:24I saw the mountains, and behold, they trembled, and all the hills moved back and forth.Jeremiah 4:25I saw, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the sky had fled.Jeremiah 4:26I saw, and behold, the fruitful field was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Yahweh, before his fierce anger.
