-
Jeremiah 6:28-30
All are stubborn rebels spreading slander. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.The bellows blow, blasting the lead with fire. The refining is completely in vain; the evil ones are not separated out.They are called rejected silver, for the LORD has rejected them.

Ezekiel 24:11
Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its corrosion will be consumed.

Hosea 7:9-16
Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not notice.Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God, and for all this, they do not seek him.So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove; they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.As they are going, I will spread my net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the sky. I will discipline them in accordance with the news that reaches their assembly.Woe to them, for they fled from me; destruction to them, for they rebelled against me! Though I want to redeem them, they speak lies against me.They do not cry to me from their hearts; rather, they wail on their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine; they turn away from me.I trained and strengthened their arms, but they plot evil against me.They turn, but not to what is above; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent tongue. They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.

Amos 4:6-12
I gave you absolutely nothing to eat in all your cities, a shortage of food in all your communities, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I also withheld the rain from you while there were still three months until harvest. I sent rain on one city but no rain on another. One field received rain while a field with no rain withered.Two or three cities staggered to another city to drink water but were not satisfied, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I struck you with blight and mildew; the locust devoured your many gardens and vineyards, your fig trees and olive trees, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I sent plagues like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I caused the stench of your camp to fill your nostrils, yet you did not return to me. This is the LORD’s declaration.I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick snatched from a fire, yet you did not return to me— This is the LORD’s declaration.Therefore, Israel, that is what I will do to you, and since I will do that to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God!

2 Chronicles 36 14-2 Chronicles 36 16
All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the LORD’s temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.But the LORD, the God of their ancestors sent word against them by the hand of his messengers, sending them time and time again, for he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.But they kept ridiculing God’s messengers, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath was so stirred up against his people that there was no remedy.
-
Ezekiel 23:36-48
Then the LORD said to me,“ Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare their detestable practices to them.For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands; they have committed adultery with their idols. And the children they bore to me they have sacrificed in the fire as food for the idols.They also did this to me: they defiled my sanctuary on that same day and profaned my Sabbaths.On the same day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered my sanctuary to profane it. Yes, that is what they did inside my house.“ In addition, they sent for men who came from far away when a messenger was dispatched to them. And look how they came! You bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry for them.You sat on a luxurious couch with a table spread before it, on which you had set my incense and oil.The sound of a carefree crowd was there. Drunkards from the desert were brought in, along with common men. They put bracelets on the women’s hands and beautiful tiaras on their heads.Then I said concerning this woman worn out by adultery: Will they now have illicit sex with her, even her?Yet they had sex with her as one does with a prostitute. This is how they had sex with Oholah and Oholibah, those depraved women.But righteous men will judge them the way adulteresses and those who shed blood are judged, for they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.“ This is what the Lord GOD says: Summon an assembly against them and consign them to terror and plunder.The assembly will stone them and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn their houses.So I will put an end to depravity in the land, and all the women will be admonished not to imitate your depraved behavior.

Isaiah 5:4-6
What more could I have done for my vineyard than I did? Why, when I expected a yield of good grapes, did it yield worthless grapes?Now I will tell you what I am about to do to my vineyard: I will remove its hedge, and it will be consumed; I will tear down its wall, and it will be trampled.I will make it a wasteland. It will not be pruned or weeded; thorns and briers will grow up. I will also give orders to the clouds that rain should not fall on it.
-
Luke 13:7-9
He told the vineyard worker,‘ Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?’“ But he replied to him,‘ Sir, leave it this year also, until I dig around it and fertilize it.Perhaps it will produce fruit next year, but if not, you can cut it down.’”
-
Isaiah 9:13-17
The people did not turn to him who struck them; they did not seek the LORD of Armies.So the LORD cut off Israel’s head and tail, palm branch and reed in a single day.The head is the elder, the honored one; the tail is the prophet, the one teaching lies.The leaders of the people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.Therefore the Lord does not rejoice over Israel’s young men and has no compassion on its fatherless and widows, for everyone is a godless evildoer, and every mouth speaks folly. In all this, his anger has not turned away, and his hand is still raised to strike.

Matthew 23:37-38
“ Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!See, your house is left to you desolate.
-
Jeremiah 25:3-7
“ From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon, king of Judah, until this very day— twenty-three years— the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you time and time again, but you have not obeyed.The LORD sent all his servants the prophets to you time and time again, but you have not obeyed or even paid attention.He announced,‘ Turn, each of you, from your evil way of life and from your evil deeds. Live in the land the LORD gave to you and your ancestors long ago and forever.Do not follow other gods to serve them and to bow in worship to them, and do not anger me by the work of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.“‘ But you have not obeyed me’— this is the LORD’s declaration—‘ with the result that you have angered me by the work of your hands and brought disaster on yourselves.’
