  • Genesis 45:5-8
    But don’t be upset. And don’t be angry with yourselves because you sold me here. God sent me ahead of you to save many lives.For two years now, there hasn’t been enough food in the land. And for the next five years, people won’t be plowing or gathering crops.But God sent me ahead of you to keep some of you alive on earth. He sent me here to save your lives by an act of mighty power.“ So then, it wasn’t you who sent me here. It was God. He made me like a father to Pharaoh. He made me master of Pharaoh’s entire house. God made me ruler of the whole land of Egypt.

  • 2 Chronicles 32 20-2 Chronicles 32 26
    King Hezekiah cried out in prayer to God in heaven. He prayed about the problem Jerusalem was facing. So did Isaiah the prophet. He was the son of Amoz.The Lord sent an angel. The angel wiped out all the enemy’s fighting men, commanders and officers. He put an end to them right there in the camp of the Assyrian king. So Sennacherib went back to his own land in shame. He went into the temple of his god. There some of his own sons, the people closest to him, killed him with their swords.So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem. He saved them from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. He also saved them from all their other enemies. He took care of them on every side.Many people brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord. They brought expensive gifts for Hezekiah, the king of Judah. From then on, all the nations thought well of him.In those days Hezekiah became sick. He knew he was about to die. So he prayed to the Lord. And the Lord answered him. He gave him a miraculous sign.But Hezekiah’s heart was proud. He didn’t give thanks for the many kind things the Lord had done for him. So the Lord became angry with him. He also became angry with Judah and Jerusalem.Then Hezekiah had a change of heart. He was sorry he had been proud. The people of Jerusalem were also sorry they had sinned. So the Lord wasn’t angry with them as long as Hezekiah was king.
  • Isaiah 3:1-7
    Here is what the Lord who rules over all is about to do. The Lord will take away from Jerusalem and Judah supplies and help alike. He will take away all the supplies of food and water.He’ll take away heroes and soldiers. He’ll take away judges and prophets. He’ll take away fortune tellers and elders.He’ll take away captains of groups of 50 men. He’ll take away government leaders. He’ll take away advisers, skilled workers and those who are clever at doing evil magic.The Lord will make mere youths their leaders. Children will rule over them.People will treat one another badly. They will fight against one another. They will fight against their neighbors. Young people will attack old people. Ordinary people will attack those who are more important.A man will grab one of his brothers in his father’s house. He will say,“ You have a coat. So you be our leader. Take charge of all these broken- down buildings!”But at that time the brother will cry out,“ I can’t help you. I don’t have any food or clothing in my house. Don’t make me the leader of these people.”
