Jeremiah 30:11-16
For I am with you and will save you,” says the Lord.“ I will completely destroy the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not completely destroy you. I will discipline you, but with justice; I cannot let you go unpunished.”This is what the Lord says:“ Your injury is incurable— a terrible wound.There is no one to help you or to bind up your injury. No medicine can heal you.All your lovers— your allies— have left you and do not care about you anymore. I have wounded you cruelly, as though I were your enemy. For your sins are many, and your guilt is great.Why do you protest your punishment— this wound that has no cure? I have had to punish you because your sins are many and your guilt is great.“ But all who devour you will be devoured, and all your enemies will be sent into exile. All who plunder you will be plundered, and all who attack you will be attacked.

Daniel 2:31-35
“ In your vision, Your Majesty, you saw standing before you a huge, shining statue of a man. It was a frightening sight.The head of the statue was made of fine gold. Its chest and arms were silver, its belly and thighs were bronze,its legs were iron, and its feet were a combination of iron and baked clay.As you watched, a rock was cut from a mountain, but not by human hands. It struck the feet of iron and clay, smashing them to bits.The whole statue was crushed into small pieces of iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold. Then the wind blew them away without a trace, like chaff on a threshing floor. But the rock that knocked the statue down became a great mountain that covered the whole earth.

In that day the remnant left in Israel, the survivors in the house of Jacob, will no longer depend on allies who seek to destroy them. But they will faithfully trust the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.A remnant will return; yes, the remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God.But though the people of Israel are as numerous as the sand of the seashore, only a remnant of them will return. The Lord has rightly decided to destroy his people.Yes, the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, has already decided to destroy the entire land.So this is what the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says:“ O my people in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrians when they oppress you with rod and club as the Egyptians did long ago.In a little while my anger against you will end, and then my anger will rise up to destroy them.”
