Isaiah 5:25-30
Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against his people. He raised his hand against them and struck them; the mountains quaked, and their corpses were like garbage in the streets. In all this, his anger has not turned away, and his hand is still raised to strike.He raises a signal flag for the distant nations and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look— how quickly and swiftly they come!None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap broken.Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows strung. Their horses’ hooves are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.Their roaring is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions; they growl and seize their prey and carry it off, and no one can rescue it.On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.

They will burn it, including the houses where incense has been burned to Baal on their rooftops and where drink offerings have been poured out to other gods to anger me.From their youth, the Israelites and Judeans have done nothing but what is evil in my sight! They have done nothing but anger me by the work of their hands”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ for this city has caused my wrath and fury from the day it was built until now. I will therefore remove it from my presencebecause of all the evil the Israelites and Judeans have done to anger me— they, their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem.

Ezekiel 24:3-13
Now speak a parable to the rebellious house. Tell them,‘ This is what the Lord GOD says: Put the pot on the fire— put it on, and then pour water into it!Place the pieces of meat in it, every good piece— thigh and shoulder. Fill it with choice bones.Take the choicest of the flock and also pile up the fuel under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, the pot that has corrosion inside it, and its corrosion has not come out of it! Empty it piece by piece; lots should not be cast for its contents.For the blood she shed is still within her. She put it out on the bare rock; she didn’t pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have put her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.“‘ Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I myself will make the pile of kindling large.Pile on the logs and kindle the fire! Cook the meat well and mix in the spices! Let the bones be burned!Set the empty pot on its coals so that it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt inside it; its corrosion will be consumed.It has frustrated every effort; its thick corrosion will not come off. Into the fire with its corrosion!Because of the depravity of your uncleanness— since I tried to purify you, but you would not be purified from your uncleanness— you will not be pure again until I have satisfied my wrath on you.

Isaiah 24:1-12
Look, the LORD is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:people and priest alike, servant and master, female servant and mistress, buyer and seller, lender and borrower, creditor and debtor.The earth will be stripped completely bare and will be totally plundered, for the LORD has spoken this message.The earth mourns and withers; the world wastes away and withers; the exalted people of the earth waste away.The earth is polluted by its inhabitants, for they have transgressed teachings, overstepped decrees, and broken the permanent covenant.Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, and its inhabitants have become guilty; the earth’s inhabitants have been burned, and only a few survive.The new wine mourns; the vine withers. All the carousers now groan.The joyful tambourines have ceased. The noise of the jubilant has stopped. The joyful lyre has ceased.They no longer sing and drink wine; beer is bitter to those who drink it.The city of chaos is shattered; every house is closed to entry.In the streets they cry for wine. All joy grows dark; earth’s rejoicing goes into exile.Only desolation remains in the city; its gate has collapsed in ruins.
