I hid my face from you,
(B)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
says the Lord, your Redeemer.
Isaiah 47:6-9
English Standard Version
6 (A)I was angry with my people;
I profaned my heritage;
I gave them into your hand;
(B)you showed them no mercy;
on the aged you made your yoke exceedingly heavy.
7 You said, “I shall be (C)mistress forever,”
so that you did not lay these things to heart
or remember their end.
8 Now therefore hear this, (D)you lover of pleasures,
(E)who sit securely,
who say in your heart,
(F)“I am, and there is no one besides me;
(G)I shall not sit as a widow
or know the loss of children”:
9 (H)These two things shall come to you
in a moment, (I)in one day;
the loss of children and widowhood
shall come upon you in full measure,
(J)in spite of your many sorceries
and the great power of your enchantments.

Judgment on Arrogant Assyria
5 Woe to Assyria, (A)the rod of my anger;
the staff in their hands is my fury!
6 Against a (B)godless nation I send him,
and against the people of my wrath I command him,
to take (C)spoil and seize plunder,
and to (D)tread them down like the mire of the streets.
7 But he (E)does not so intend,
and his heart does not so think;
but it is in his heart to destroy,
and to cut off nations not a few;
Psalm 83:2-5
English Standard Version
2 For behold, your enemies (A)make an uproar;
those who hate you have (B)raised their heads.
3 They lay (C)crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your (D)treasured ones.
4 They say, “Come, (E)let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5 For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant—

(B)‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come (C)in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and (D)she will be burned up with fire;
for (E)mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
Hebrews 12:6-7
English Standard Version
6 For (A)the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. (B)God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

Obadiah 10-16
English Standard Version
Edom's Violence Against Jacob
10 (A)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
(B)and you shall be cut off forever.
11 (C)On the day that you stood aloof,
(D)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
(E)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 (F)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
(G)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
(H)do not boast[a]
in the day of distress.
13 (I)Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
(J)do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
(K)do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 (L)Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
The Day of the Lord Is Near
15 For (M)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(N)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 (O)For as you have drunk on (P)my holy mountain,
so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
and shall be as though they had never been.

and it shall devour the strongholds of (G)Ben-hadad.
5 I will (H)break the gate-bar of (I)Damascus,

and it shall devour her strongholds.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
(V)“For three transgressions of (W)Edom,
