Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles,“ Brothers, what should we do?”Peter replied,“ Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

“ God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now he commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him.For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.”When they heard Paul speak about the resurrection of the dead, some laughed in contempt, but others said,“ We want to hear more about this later.”

“ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Disaster after disaster is coming your way!The end has come. It has finally arrived. Your final doom is waiting!O people of Israel, the day of your destruction is dawning. The time has come; the day of trouble is near. Shouts of anguish will be heard on the mountains, not shouts of joy.

Then some of the leaders of Israel visited me, and while they were sitting with me,this message came to me from the Lord:“ Son of man, these leaders have set up idols in their hearts. They have embraced things that will make them fall into sin. Why should I listen to their requests?Tell them,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: The people of Israel have set up idols in their hearts and fallen into sin, and then they go to a prophet asking for a message. So I, the Lord, will give them the kind of answer their great idolatry deserves.I will do this to capture the minds and hearts of all my people who have turned from me to worship their detestable idols.’“ Therefore, tell the people of Israel,‘ This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Repent and turn away from your idols, and stop all your detestable sins.

Then they took him to the high council of the city.“ Come and tell us about this new teaching,” they said.“ You are saying some rather strange things, and we want to know what it’s all about.”

Destroy even her young bulls— it will be terrible for them, too! Slaughter them all! For Babylon’s day of reckoning has come.

“ Listen, you remnant of Judah. The Lord has told you:‘ Do not go to Egypt!’ Don’t forget this warning I have given you today.For you were not being honest when you sent me to pray to the Lord your God for you. You said,‘ Just tell us what the Lord our God says, and we will do it!’And today I have told you exactly what he said, but you will not obey the Lord your God any better now than you have in the past.So you can be sure that you will die from war, famine, and disease in Egypt, where you insist on going.”

“ The day of judgment is here; your destruction awaits! The people’s wickedness and pride have blossomed to full flower.

“ Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign Lord. Repent, and turn from your sins. Don’t let them destroy you!Put all your rebellion behind you, and find yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel?I don’t want you to die, says the Sovereign Lord. Turn back and live!

Yes, the time has come; the day is here! Buyers should not rejoice over bargains, nor sellers grieve over losses, for all of them will fall under my terrible anger.

In the evening Israel waits in terror, but by dawn its enemies are dead. This is the just reward of those who plunder us, a fitting end for those who destroy us.

Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.
