For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, bthrown down your altars, and ckilled your prophets with the sword, dand I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.” 11And he said, “Go out and estand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and fa great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind gan earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire.

For the people of Israel have forsaken your covenant, lthrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword, and I, even I only, am left, and they seek my life, to take it away.” Isaiah 24:1-6
Judgment on the Whole Earth
1 Behold, mthe Lord will empty the earth ▼▼Or land; also throughout this chapter
and make it desolate,and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants.
2 oAnd it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest;
as with the slave, so with his master;
as with the maid, so with her mistress;
pas with the buyer, so with the seller;
as with the lender, so with the borrower;
qas with the creditor, so with the debtor.
3 rThe earth shall be utterly empty and utterly plundered;
sfor the Lord has spoken this word.
4 tThe earth mourns and withers;
the world languishes and withers;
the highest people of the earth languish.
5The earth lies udefiled
under its inhabitants;
for vthey have transgressed the laws,
violated the statutes,
broken the everlasting covenant.
6Therefore wa curse devours the earth,
and its inhabitants xsuffer for their guilt;
therefore the inhabitants of the earth are scorched,
and few men are left.
Jeremiah 22:9
9 yAnd they will answer, “Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God and worshiped other gods and served them.”’”Jeremiah 31:32
32not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when zI took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, aathough I was their husband, declares the Lord.Hebrews 8:9
9not like the covenant that I made with their fatherson the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
