Ezekiel 14:13-21
“ Son of man, suppose a land sins against me by acting faithlessly, and I stretch out my hand against it to cut off its supply of bread, to send famine through it, and to wipe out both people and animals from it.Even if these three men— Noah, Daniel, and Job— were in it, they would rescue only themselves by their righteousness.” This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.“ Suppose I allow dangerous animals to pass through the land and depopulate it so that it becomes desolate, with no one passing through it for fear of the animals.Even if these three men were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord GOD—“ they could not rescue their sons or daughters. They alone would be rescued, but the land would be desolate.“ Or suppose I bring a sword against that land and say,‘ Let a sword pass through it,’ so that I wipe out both people and animals from it.Even if these three men were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord GOD—“ they could not rescue their sons or daughters, but they alone would be rescued.“ Or suppose I send a plague into that land and pour out my wrath on it with bloodshed to wipe out both people and animals from it.Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live”— the declaration of the Lord GOD—“ they could not rescue their son or daughter. They would rescue only themselves by their righteousness.“ For this is what the Lord GOD says: How much worse will it be when I send my four devastating judgments against Jerusalem— sword, famine, dangerous animals, and plague— in order to wipe out both people and animals from it!

2 Chronicles 36 14-2 Chronicles 36 16
All the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, imitating all the detestable practices of the nations, and they defiled the LORD’s temple that he had consecrated in Jerusalem.But the LORD, the God of their ancestors sent word against them by the hand of his messengers, sending them time and time again, for he had compassion on his people and on his dwelling place.But they kept ridiculing God’s messengers, despising his words, and scoffing at his prophets, until the LORD’s wrath was so stirred up against his people that there was no remedy.

Isaiah 24:3-12
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.

Jeremiah 25:10-11
I will eliminate the sound of joy and gladness from them— the voice of the groom and the bride, the sound of the millstones and the light of the lamp.This whole land will become a desolate ruin, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
