Exodus 32:9-10

9And the Lord said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, ait is a stiff-necked people. 10Now therefore blet me alone, that cmy wrath may burn hot against them and dI may consume them, in order that eI may make a great nation of you.”

Deuteronomy 32:21

21 fThey have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger gwith their idols.
So hI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with ia foolish nation.

Isaiah 49:5-8

5 jAnd now the Lord says,
he kwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,
to bring Jacob back to him;
and that Israel might be gathered to him—
for lI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,
and my God has become my strength
6he says:
“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Jacob
and to bring back the preserved of Israel;
mI will make you nas a light for the nations,
that omy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
7 Thus says the Lord,
pthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,
qto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,
the servant of rulers:
rKings shall see and arise;
princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;
because of the Lord, who is faithful,
the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

The Restoration of Israel

8 Thus says the Lord:
s“In a ttime of favor I have answered you;
in a day of salvation I have helped you;
I will keep you uand give you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
vto apportion the desolate heritages,

So the wedding hall was filled with guests.
