He said to me,“ Son of man, have you seen all of this? The people of Judah are doing things here that I hate. This is a very serious matter. They are harming one another all through the land. They continue to make me very angry. Just look at them making fun of me!

You traded with many nations. You harmed people everywhere. And you sinned. So I sent you away from my mountain in shame. Guardian angel, I drove you away from among the gleaming jewels.

People will no longer harm one another in your land. They will not wipe out or destroy anything inside your borders. You will call your walls Salvation. And you will name your gates Praise.

People of Israel, listen to the Lord’ s message. He is bringing charges against you who live in Israel. He says,“ There is no faithfulness or love in the land. No one recognizes me as God.People curse one another. They tell lies and commit murder. They steal and commit adultery. They break all my laws. They keep spilling the blood of other people.

You have robbed many nations. So the nations that are left will rob you. You have spilled human blood. You have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

Both of them did what was right in the sight of God. They obeyed all the Lord’s commands and rules faithfully.

The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.

Don’t let people who lie about me be secure in the land. May trouble hunt down those who want to hurt me.

Lord, how long do I have to call out for help? Why don’t you listen to me? How long must I keep telling you that things are terrible? Why don’t you save us?

The harm they have done to Lebanon will bring them down. Because they have killed so many animals, animals will terrify them. They have spilled human blood. They have destroyed lands and cities and everyone in them.

What the law says, it says to those who are ruled by the law. Its purpose is to shut every mouth and make the whole world accountable to God.

Hearing the law does not make a person right with God. People are considered to be right with God only when they obey the law.

Lord, confuse the sinners and keep them from understanding one another. I see people destroying things and fighting in the city.

Wells keep giving fresh water. And Jerusalem keeps on sinning. Its people are always fighting and causing trouble. When I look at them, I see nothing but sickness and wounds.

The people of Sodom were evil. They were sinning greatly against the Lord.

He was a mighty hunter in the Lord’ s eyes. That’s why people sometimes compare others with Nimrod. They say,“ They are like Nimrod, who was a mighty hunter in the Lord’ s eyes.”

The Lord says,“ Your heart was tender. You made yourself humble in my sight. You heard what I spoke against this place and its people. So you made yourself humble. You tore your royal robes and wept. And I have heard you,” announces the Lord.

Then the Lord said to Noah,“ Go into the ark with your whole family. I know that you are a godly man among the people of today.
