Jeremiah 17:20-27
Announce to them: Hear the word of the Lord, kings of Judah, all Judah, and all the residents of Jerusalem who enter through these gates.This is what the Lord says: Watch yourselves; do not pick up a load and bring it in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.You must not carry a load out of your houses on the Sabbath day or do any work, but you must consecrate the Sabbath day, just as I commanded your ancestors.They wouldn’t listen or pay attention but became obstinate, not listening or accepting discipline.“ However, if you listen to Me, says the Lord, and do not bring loads through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day and consecrate the Sabbath day and do no work on it,kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, the men of Judah, and the residents of Jerusalem. This city will be inhabited forever.Then people will come from the cities of Judah and from the area around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin and from the Judean foothills, from the hill country and from the Negev bringing burnt offerings and sacrifice, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the house of the Lord.If you do not listen to Me to consecrate the Sabbath day by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, I will set fire to its gates, and it will consume the citadels of Jerusalem and not be extinguished.”

They did not listen, and they did not obey.

Ezekiel 33:25-29
Therefore say to them: This is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with blood in it, raise your eyes to your idols, and shed blood. Should you then receive possession of the land?You have relied on your swords, you have committed detestable acts, and each of you has defiled his neighbor’s wife. Should you then receive possession of the land?“ Tell them this: This is what the Lord God says: As surely as I live, those who are in the ruins will fall by the sword, those in the open field I have given to wild animals to be devoured, and those in the strongholds and caves will die by plague.I will make the land a desolate waste, and its proud strength will come to an end. The mountains of Israel will become desolate, with no one passing through.They will know that I am Yahweh when I make the land a desolate waste because of all the detestable acts they have committed.

“ If you follow My statutes and faithfully observe My commands,I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.Your threshing will continue until grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have plenty of food to eat and live securely in your land.I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to frighten you. I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.Five of you will pursue 100, and 100 of you will pursue 10,000; your enemies will fall before you by the sword.“ I will turn to you, make you fruitful and multiply you, and confirm My covenant with you.You will eat the old grain of the previous year and will clear out the old to make room for the new.I will place My residence among you, and I will not reject you.I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would no longer be their slaves. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to live in freedom.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14
“ Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth.All these blessings will come and overtake you, because you obey the Lord your God:You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.Your descendants will be blessed, and your land’s produce, and the offspring of your livestock, including the young of your herds and the newborn of your flocks.Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed.You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.“ The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you. They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions.The Lord will grant you a blessing on your storehouses and on everything you do; He will bless you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.The Lord will establish you as His holy people, as He swore to you, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will stand in awe of you.The Lord will make you prosper abundantly with children, the offspring of your livestock, and your land’s produce in the land the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.The Lord will open for you His abundant storehouse, the sky, to give your land rain in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward if you listen to the Lord your God’s commands I am giving you today and are careful to follow them.Do not turn aside to the right or the left from all the things I am commanding you today, and do not go after other gods to worship them.

Psalms 81:11-16
“ But My people did not listen to Me; Israel did not obey Me.So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans.If only My people would listen to Me and Israel would follow My ways,I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes.”Those who hate the Lord would pretend submission to Him; their doom would last forever.But He would feed Israel with the best wheat.“ I would satisfy you with honey from the rock.”

Ezekiel 22:2-16
“ As for you, son of man, will you pass judgment? Will you pass judgment against the city of blood? Then explain all her detestable practices to her.You are to say: This is what the Lord God says: A city that sheds blood within her walls so that her time of judgment has come and who makes idols for herself so that she is defiled!You are guilty of the blood you have shed, and you are defiled from the idols you have made. You have brought your judgment days near and have come to your years of punishment. Therefore, I have made you a disgrace to the nations and a mockery to all the lands.Those who are near and those far away from you will mock you, you infamous one full of turmoil.“ Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.Father and mother are treated with contempt, and the foreign resident is exploited within you. The fatherless and widow are oppressed in you.You despise My holy things and profane My Sabbaths.There are men within you who slander in order to shed blood. People who live in you eat at the mountain shrines; they commit immoral acts within you.Men within you have sexual intercourse with their father’s wife and violate women during their menstrual impurity.One man within you commits a detestable act with his neighbor’s wife; another wickedly defiles his daughter-in-law; and yet another violates his sister, his father’s daughter.People who live in you accept bribes in order to shed blood. You take interest and profit on a loan and brutally extort your neighbors. You have forgotten Me.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.“ Now look, I clap My hands together against the dishonest profit you have made and against the blood shed among you.Will your courage endure or your hands be strong in the days when I deal with you? I, Yahweh, have spoken, and I will act.I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you among the countries; I will purge your uncleanness.You will be profaned in the sight of the nations. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

Joshua 23:11-13
So be very diligent to love the Lord your God for your own well-being.For if you turn away and cling to the rest of these nations remaining among you, and if you intermarry or associate with them and they with you,know for certain that the Lord your God will not continue to drive these nations out before you. They will become a snare and a trap for you, a scourge for your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you disappear from this good land the Lord your God has given you.
