  1. Isaiah 23:9 pollute

“I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.
(A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite everything for which I punished her.
But [a]they rose early and (B)corrupted all their deeds.

A Faithful Remnant(C)

“Therefore (D)wait for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up [b]for plunder;
My determination is to (E)gather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth (F)shall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy.

He has stretched out His hand against them
And stricken them,
And (B)the hills trembled.
Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.

But His hand is stretched out still.
