They will enter Jerusalem singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness.

Isaiah 63:15-64:4
Lord, look down from heaven; look from your holy, glorious home, and see us. Where is the passion and the might you used to show on our behalf? Where are your mercy and compassion now?Surely you are still our Father! Even if Abraham and Jacob would disown us, Lord, you would still be our Father. You are our Redeemer from ages past.Lord, why have you allowed us to turn from your path? Why have you given us stubborn hearts so we no longer fear you? Return and help us, for we are your servants, the tribes that are your special possession.How briefly your holy people possessed your holy place, and now our enemies have destroyed it.Sometimes it seems as though we never belonged to you, as though we had never been known as your people.Oh, that you would burst from the heavens and come down! How the mountains would quake in your presence!As fire causes wood to burn and water to boil, your coming would make the nations tremble. Then your enemies would learn the reason for your fame!When you came down long ago, you did awesome deeds beyond our highest expectations. And oh, how the mountains quaked!For since the world began, no ear has heard and no eye has seen a God like you, who works for those who wait for him!

2 Samuel 24 10-2 Samuel 24 17
But after he had taken the census, David’s conscience began to bother him. And he said to the Lord,“ I have sinned greatly by taking this census. Please forgive my guilt, Lord, for doing this foolish thing.”The next morning the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, who was David’s seer. This was the message:“ Go and say to David,‘ This is what the Lord says: I will give you three choices. Choose one of these punishments, and I will inflict it on you.’”So Gad came to David and asked him,“ Will you choose three years of famine throughout your land, three months of fleeing from your enemies, or three days of severe plague throughout your land? Think this over and decide what answer I should give the Lord who sent me.”“ I’m in a desperate situation!” David replied to Gad.“ But let us fall into the hands of the Lord, for his mercy is great. Do not let me fall into human hands.”So the Lord sent a plague upon Israel that morning, and it lasted for three days. A total of 70,000 people died throughout the nation, from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south.But as the angel was preparing to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented and said to the death angel,“ Stop! That is enough!” At that moment the angel of the Lord was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.When David saw the angel, he said to the Lord,“ I am the one who has sinned and done wrong! But these people are as innocent as sheep— what have they done? Let your anger fall against me and my family.”

Numbers 14:10-23
But the whole community began to talk about stoning Joshua and Caleb. Then the glorious presence of the Lord appeared to all the Israelites at the Tabernacle.And the Lord said to Moses,“ How long will these people treat me with contempt? Will they never believe me, even after all the miraculous signs I have done among them?I will disown them and destroy them with a plague. Then I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than they are!”But Moses objected.“ What will the Egyptians think when they hear about it?” he asked the Lord.“ They know full well the power you displayed in rescuing your people from Egypt.Now if you destroy them, the Egyptians will send a report to the inhabitants of this land, who have already heard that you live among your people. They know, Lord, that you have appeared to your people face to face and that your pillar of cloud hovers over them. They know that you go before them in the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night.Now if you slaughter all these people with a single blow, the nations that have heard of your fame will say,‘ The Lord was not able to bring them into the land he swore to give them, so he killed them in the wilderness.’“ Please, Lord, prove that your power is as great as you have claimed. For you said,‘ The Lord is slow to anger and filled with unfailing love, forgiving every kind of sin and rebellion. But he does not excuse the guilty. He lays the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected— even children in the third and fourth generations.’In keeping with your magnificent, unfailing love, please pardon the sins of this people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt.”Then the Lord said,“ I will pardon them as you have requested.But as surely as I live, and as surely as the earth is filled with the Lord’s glory,not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.They will never even see the land I swore to give their ancestors. None of those who have treated me with contempt will ever see it.

Habakkuk 1:5-10
The Lord replied,“ Look around at the nations; look and be amazed! For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn’t believe even if someone told you about it.I am raising up the Babylonians, a cruel and violent people. They will march across the world and conquer other lands.They are notorious for their cruelty and do whatever they like.Their horses are swifter than cheetahs and fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their charioteers charge from far away. Like eagles, they swoop down to devour their prey.“ On they come, all bent on violence. Their hordes advance like a desert wind, sweeping captives ahead of them like sand.They scoff at kings and princes and scorn all their fortresses. They simply pile ramps of earth against their walls and capture them!

Job 4:12-21
“ This truth was given to me in secret, as though whispered in my ear.It came to me in a disturbing vision at night, when people are in a deep sleep.Fear gripped me, and my bones trembled.A spirit swept past my face, and my hair stood on end.The spirit stopped, but I couldn’t see its shape. There was a form before my eyes. In the silence I heard a voice say,‘ Can a mortal be innocent before God? Can anyone be pure before the Creator?’“ If God does not trust his own angels and has charged his messengers with foolishness,how much less will he trust people made of clay! They are made of dust, crushed as easily as a moth.They are alive in the morning but dead by evening, gone forever without a trace.Their tent cords are pulled and the tent collapses, and they die in ignorance.

Turn away from your fierce anger. Change your mind about this terrible disaster you have threatened against your people!
