8:19 1 They will say to you, “Seek oracles at the pits used to conjure up underworld spirits, from the magicians who chirp and mutter incantations. 2 Should people not seek oracles from their gods, by asking the dead about the destiny of the living?” 3
19:3 The Egyptians will panic, 5
and I will confuse their strategy. 6
They will seek guidance from the idols and from the spirits of the dead,
from the pits used to conjure up underworld spirits, and from the magicians. 7
27:11 When its branches get brittle, 8 they break;
women come and use them for kindling. 9
For these people lack understanding, 10
therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them;
the one who formed them has no mercy on them.
28:16 Therefore, this is what the sovereign master, the Lord, says:
“Look, I am laying 11 a stone in Zion,
an approved 12 stone,
set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation. 13
The one who maintains his faith will not panic. 14
37:29 Because you rage against me
and the uproar you create has reached my ears, 15
I will put my hook in your nose, 16
and my bridle between your lips,
and I will lead you back
the way you came.”
44:23 Shout for joy, O sky, for the Lord intervenes; 17
shout out, you subterranean regions 18 of the earth.
O mountains, give a joyful shout;
you too, O forest and all your trees! 19
For the Lord protects 20 Jacob;
he reveals his splendor through Israel. 21
51:5 I am ready to vindicate, 22
I am ready to deliver, 23
I will establish justice among the nations. 24
The coastlands 25 wait patiently for me;
they wait in anticipation for the revelation of my power. 26
51:13 Why do you forget 27 the Lord, who made you,
who stretched out the sky 28
and founded the earth?
Why do you constantly tremble all day long 29
at the anger of the oppressor,
when he makes plans to destroy?
Where is the anger of the oppressor? 30
