hSee Rom. 16:18
1 Samuel 2:30
30Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares: a‘I promised that your house and the house of your father should go in and out before me forever,’ bbut now the Lord declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.Jeremiah 2:26-27
26 “As a thief is shamed when caught,so the house of Israel shall be shamed:
cthey, their kings, their officials,
their priests, and their prophets,
27who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’
For they have turned their back to me,
and not their face.
But din the time of their trouble they say,
‘Arise and save us!’
Malachi 2:9
9and so eI make you despised and abased before all the people, inasmuch as you do not keep my ways but fshow partiality in your instruction.”Philippians 3:19
19 gTheir end is destruction, htheir god is their belly, and ithey glory in their shame, with jminds set on earthly things.
