So I used the words of my prophets to cut you in pieces. I used my words to put you to death. Then my judgments blazed out like the sun.

因此，我藉先知砍伐他们，以我口中的话杀戮他们；我施行的审判如光发出。

Therefore I cut you in pieces with my prophets, I killed you with the words of my mouth— then my judgments go forth like the sun.

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth, and my judgment goes forth as the light.

I sent my prophets to cut you to pieces— to slaughter you with my words, with judgments as inescapable as light.

This is why I have used the prophets to cut them down; I have killed them with the words from my mouth. My judgment strikes like lightning.

Therefore I have cut them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that shines.

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And your judgments are like light that goes forth.

Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

This is why I have used the prophets to cut them down; I have killed them with the words of My mouth. My judgment strikes like lightning.

Therefore have I hewed[ them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments[ are as] the light[ that] goeth forth.

Therefore, I will certainly cut you into pieces at the hands of the prophets; I will certainly kill you in fulfillment of my oracles of judgment; for my judgment will come forth like the light of the dawn.

Therefore I have cut them to pieces with the prophets; I killed them with the words of my mouth. Your judgments are like a flash of lightning.

“ My message is like fire,” announces the Lord.“ It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces.

Today I am appointing you to speak to nations and kingdoms. I give you authority to pull them up by the roots and tear them down. I give you authority to destroy them and crush them. I give you authority to build them up and plant them.”

The Lord God rules over all. He says to me,“ The people have spoken these words. So my words will be like fire in your mouth. I will make the people like wood. And the fire will burn them up.”

The word of God is alive and active. It is sharper than any sword that has two edges. It cuts deep enough to separate soul from spirit. It can separate bones from joints. It judges the thoughts and purposes of the heart.

But you are stubborn. In your heart you are not sorry for your sins. You are storing up anger against yourself. The day of God’s anger is coming. Then his way of judging fairly will be shown.

My body trembles because I have respect for you. I have great respect for your laws. Ayin

Jehoram received a letter from Elijah the prophet. In it, Elijah said,“ The Lord is the God of your father David. The Lord says,‘ You have not followed the ways of your own father Jehoshaphat or of Asa, the king of Judah.

When Moses saw the bush, he was amazed. He went over for a closer look. There he heard the Lord say,

When he saw Elijah, he said to him,“ Is that you? You are always stirring up trouble in Israel.”

The people also did not turn away from their murders, witchcraft, sexual sins and stealing.

I will make you very brave. So do not be afraid of them. Do not let them terrify you, even though they refuse to obey me.”

“ So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

Elijah was from Tishbe in the land of Gilead. He said to Ahab,“ I serve the Lord. He is the God of Israel. You can be sure that he lives. And you can be just as sure that there won’t be any dew or rain on the whole land. There won’t be any during the next few years. It won’t come until I say so.”

You would never kill godly people along with those who are evil, would you? Would you treat them all alike? You would never do anything like that! Won’t the Judge of the whole earth do what is right?”

He held seven stars in his right hand. Coming out of his mouth was a sharp sword with two edges. His face was like the sun shining in all its brightness.

So turn away from your sins! If you don’t, I will come to you soon. I will fight against those people with the sword that comes out of my mouth.

The four angels had been ready for this very hour and day and month and year. They were set free to kill a third of all people.

If they do, here is what you must tell them.‘ The Lord says,“ I am going to fill with wine everyone who lives in this land. I will make the kings who sit on David’s throne drunk. And I will fill with wine the priests, the prophets and everyone who lives in Jerusalem.

Jehu will put to death anyone who escapes Hazael’s sword. And Elisha will put to death anyone who escapes Jehu’s sword.

He will make the reward for your godly life shine like the dawn. He will make the proof of your honest life shine like the sun at noon.

But Samuel replied,“ What pleases the Lord more? Burnt offerings and sacrifices, or obeying the Lord? It is better to obey than to offer a sacrifice. It is better to do what he says than to offer the fat of rams.

Today I have made you like a city that has a high wall around it. I have made you like an iron pillar and a bronze wall. Now you can stand up against the whole land. You can stand against the kings and officials of Judah. You can stand against its priests and its people.

The vision I saw was like the one I had when he came to destroy the city. It was also like the visions I had seen by the Kebar River. I fell with my face toward the ground.

The Lord told me,“ Shout out loud. Do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Tell my people that they have refused to obey me. Tell the family of Jacob how much they have sinned.

Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door. He said,“ Come in. I know that you are Jeroboam’s wife. Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you.

Elijah told the king,“ The Lord says,‘ You have sent messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Did you go there to pray to that god for advice? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ”

In spite of that, the Lord is good to Jerusalem. He never does anything that is wrong. Every morning he does what is fair. Each new day he does the right thing. But those who do what is wrong aren’t even ashamed of it.

“ You have done a foolish thing,” Samuel said.“ You haven’t obeyed the command the Lord your God gave you. If you had, he would have made your kingdom secure over Israel for all time to come.

He will always do what is right when he judges those who are in need. He’ll be completely fair when he makes decisions about poor people. When he commands that people be punished, it will happen. When he orders that evil people be put to death, it will take place.
