"I The Lord Search The Heart And Examine The Mind, To Reward Each Person According To Their Conduct, According To What Their Deeds Deserve."

"But Blessed Is The One Who Trusts In The Lord, Whose Confidence Is In Him. They Will Be Like A Tree Planted By The Water That Sends Out Its Roots By The Stream. It Does Not Fear When Heat Comes; Its Leaves Are Always Green. It Has No Worries In A Year Of Drought And Never Fails To Bear Fruit."

"Cursed Is The One Who Trusts In Man, Who Draws Strength From Mere Flesh And Whose Heart Turns Away From The Lord. That Person Will Be Like A Bush In The Wastelands; They Will Not See Prosperity When It Comes. They Will Dwell In The Parched Places Of The Desert, In A Salt Land Where No One Lives."

"Through Your Own Fault You Will Lose The Inheritance I Gave You. I Will Enslave You To Your Enemies In A Land You Do Not Know, For You Have Kindled My Anger, And It Will Burn Forever."

"Judah's Sin Is Engraved With An Iron Tool, Inscribed With A Flint Point, On The Tablets Of Their Hearts And On The Horns Of Their Altars. Even Their Children Remember Their Altars And Asherah Poles Beside The Spreading Trees And On The High Hills. My Mountain In The Land And Your Wealth And All Your Treasures I Will Give Away As Plunder, Together With Your High Places, Because Of Sin Throughout Your Country."

"Therefore I Will Teach Them -- This Time I Will Teach Them My Power And Might. Then They Will Know That My Name Is The Lord."

"But Now I Will Send For Many Fishermen And They Will Catch Them. After That I Will Send For Many Hunters, And They Will Hunt Them Down On Every Mountain And Hill And From The Crevices Of The Rocks. My Eyes Are On All Their Ways; They Are Not Hidden From Me, Nor Is Their Sin Concealed From My Eyes. I Will Repay Them Double For Their Wickedness And Their Sin, Because They Have Defiled My Land With The Lifeless Forms Of Their Vile Images And Have Filled My Inheritance With Their Detestable Idols."

"However, The Days Are Coming When It Will No Longer Be Said, 'As Surely As The Lord Lives, Who Brought The Israelites Up Out Of Egypt,' But It Will Be Said, 'As Surely As The Lord Lives, Who Brought The Israelites Up Out Of The Land Of The North And Out Of All The Countries Where He Had Banished Them.' For I Will Restore Them To The Land I Gave Their Ancestors."

"When You Tell These People All This And They Ask You, 'Why Has The Lord Decreed Such A Great Disaster Against Us? What Wrong Have We Done? What Sin Have We Committed Against The Lord Our God?' Then Say To Them, 'It Is Because Your Ancestors Forsook Me, And Followed Other Gods And Served And Worshiped Them. They Forsook Me And Did Not Keep My Law. But You Have Behaved More Wickedly Than Your Ancestors. See How All Of You Are Following The Stubbornness Of Your Evil Hearts Instead Of Obeying Me. So I Will Throw You Out Of This Land Into A Land Neither You Nor Your Ancestors Have Known, And There You Will Serve Other Gods Day And Night, For I Will Show You No Favor."
