2 Kings 13:3-7

3 ^aAnd the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he gave them continually into the hand of ^bHazael king of Syria and into the hand of ^cBen-hadad the son of Hazael. 4 Then Jehoahaz ^dsought the favor of the Lord, and the Lord listened to him, ^efor he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them. 5 (Therefore the Lord gave Israel ^fa savior, so that they escaped from the hand of the Syrians, and the people of Israel lived in ^gtheir homes as formerly. 6 Nevertheless, they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, ^hwhich he made Israel to sin, but walked ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Targum, Vulgate; Hebrew he walked} in them; and ^jthe Asherah also remained in Samaria.) 7 For there was not left to Jehoahaz an army of more than fifty horsemen and ten chariots and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Syria had destroyed them and made them like the dust ^kat threshing.

2 Kings 13:22

22 ^lNow Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.

2 Kings 15:19

19 ^mPul ^{▼▼Another name for Tiglath-pileser III (compare verse 29)} the king of Assyria came against the land, and Menahem gave ^oPul a thousand talents ^{▼▼A talent was about 75 pounds or 34 kilograms} of silver, that he might help him ^qto confirm his hold on the royal power.

Proverbs 23:35

35 “They ^rstruck me,” you will say, ^{▼▼Hebrew lacks you will say} “but I was not hurt;
they beat me, but I did not feel it.
When shall I awake?
I ^tmust have another drink.”

Isaiah 42:22-25

22 But this is a people plundered and looted;
they are all of them trapped in holes
^uand hidden in prisons;
they have become plunder with none to rescue,
spoil with none to say, “Restore!”
23 Who among you will give ear to this,
will attend and listen for the time to come?
24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter,
and Israel to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord, against whom we have sinned,
in whose ways they would not walk,
and whose law they would not obey?
25 So he poured on him the heat of his anger
and the might of battle;
it set him on fire all around, ^vbut he did not understand;
it burned him up, ^wbut he did not take it to heart.

Isaiah 57:1

Israel’s Futile Idolatry

1 The righteous man perishes,
and no one lays it to heart;
^xdevout men are taken away,
while no one understands.
For the righteous man is taken away from calamity;

Hosea 8:7

7 For ^ythey sow the wind,
and they shall reap the whirlwind.
The standing grain has no heads;
it shall yield no flour;
if it were to yield,
^zstrangers would devour it.
