Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

Israel's Guilt and Punishment

Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:

Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?

And you shall go out through the breaches, each one straight ahead; and you shall be cast out into Harmon,” declares the Lord.

“I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.

We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and founds his vault upon the earth; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth— the Lord is his name.

I will plant them on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted out of the land that I have given them,” says the Lord your God.
