VERSES

Verses

Isaiah 18:1-2 (New American Standard Bible)

 

1 Alas, oh land of whirring wings

Which lies beyond the rivers of Cush,

2 Which sends envoys by the sea,

Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters

Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth,

To a people feared far and wide,

A powerful and oppressive nation

Whose land the rivers divide.

Verses

Jeremiah 5:27 (New International Version)

 

27 Like cages full of birds,

their houses are full of deceit;

they have become rich and powerful

Verses

Jeremiah 23:20 (New International Reader’s Version)

 

20 My anger will not turn back.

I will accomplish everything

I plan to do.

In days to come

you will understand it clearly.

Verses

Isaiah 28

 

18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;

your agreement with the grave will not stand.

When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,

you will be beaten down by it.

19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;

morning after morning, by day and by night,

it will sweep through.”

The understanding of this message

will bring sheer terror.

Verses

Amos 3:6-7 (New International Version)

 

6 When a trumpet sounds in a city,

do not the people tremble?

When disaster comes to a city,

has not the LORD caused it?

7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing

without revealing his plan

to his servants the prophets.
