Deuteronomy 31:16-17

16And the Lord said to Moses, aBehold, you are about to lie down with your fathers. Then this people will rise and bwhore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will cforsake me and dbreak my covenant that I have made with them. 17Then my anger will be kindled against them in that day, and eI will forsake them and fhide my face from them, and they will be devoured. And many evils and troubles will come upon them, so that they will say in that day, g‘Have not these evils come upon us because hour God is not among us?’

1 Kings 9:6-9

6 iBut if you turn aside from following me, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 jthen I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, kand the house that I have consecrated for my name I will cast out of my sight, land Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8And this house will become a heap of ruins.

Everyone passing by it will be astonished and will hiss, and they will say, nWhy has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’
9Then they will say, ‘Because othey abandoned the Lord their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore the Lord has brought all this disaster on them.’”

Ezra 8:22

22For I was ashamed to ask the king for a band of soldiers and horsemen to protect us against the enemy on our way, since we had told the king, p“The hand of our God is for good on qall who seek him, and the power of his wrath is against all who forsake him.”

Isaiah 1:28

28 rBut rebels and sinners shall be broken together,
and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

Hebrews 10:38-39

38 sbut my righteous one shall live by faith,
and if he shrinks back,
my soul has no pleasure in him.”
39But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.
