Isaiah 3:11-14

11 ^jWoe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,
for what his hands have dealt out shall be done to him.
12 My people— ^kinfants are their oppressors,
and women rule over them.
O my people, ^lyour guides mislead you
and they have swallowed up ^{▼▼Or they have confused} the course of your paths.
13 The Lord ⁿhas taken his place to contend;
he stands to judge peoples.
14 The Lord will enter into judgment
with the ^oelders and princes of his people:
“It is you who ^phave devoured ^{▼▼Or grazed over; compare Exodus 22:5} the vineyard,
^rthe spoil of the poor is in your houses.

Isaiah 22:12-14

12 In that day ^sthe Lord God of hosts
called for weeping and mourning,
for ^tbaldness and ^uwearing sackcloth;

eating flesh and drinking wine.
^v“Let us eat and drink,
for tomorrow we die.”
14 The Lord of hosts ^whas revealed himself in my ears:
“Surely ^xthis iniquity will not be atoned for you ^yuntil you die,”
says the Lord God of hosts.

Luke 13:25

Luke 17:26-30

26 ^acJust as it was in the days of ^adNoah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 ^aeThey were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of ^afLot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 ^agbut on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be ^ahon the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

And ^aothey will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know ^apthe time of your ^aqvisitation.”
