Ecclesiastes 8:12
12Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and aprolongs his life, yet I know that bit will be well with cthose who fear God, because they fear before him.Isaiah 26:20-21
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves dfor a little while
until the fury has passed by.
21 eFor behold, the Lord is coming out from his place
to punish the inhabitants of fthe earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed on it,
and will no more cover its slain.
Jeremiah 15:11
11The Lord said, “Have I not ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
set you free for their good? Have I not pleaded for you before the enemy in the time of trouble and in the time of distress? Ezekiel 9:4
4And the Lord said to him, “Pass through the city, through Jerusalem, and hput a mark on the foreheads of the men who isigh and groan over all the abominations that are committed in it.”Ezekiel 18:9-19
9 jwalks in my statutes, and keeps my rules by acting faithfully—he is righteous; khe shall surely live, declares the Lord God.10“If he fathers a son who is violent, la shedder of blood, who does any of these things 11(though he himself did none of these things), mwho even eats upon the mountains, ndefiles his neighbor’s wife, 12oppresses the poor and needy, ocommits robbery, pdoes not restore the pledge, qlifts up his eyes to the idols, rcommits abomination, 13 slends at interest, and takes profit; shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations; he shall surely die; this blood shall be upon himself.
14“Now suppose this man fathers a son who sees all the sins that his father has done; he sees, and does not do likewise: 15he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor’s wife, 16does not oppress anyone, uexacts no pledge, vcommits no robbery, wbut gives his bread to the hungry xand covers the naked with a garment, 17withholds his hand from iniquity, ▼
▼Septuagint; Hebrew from the poor
takes no interest or profit, obeys my rules, zand walks in my statutes; he shall not die for his father’s iniquity; aahe shall surely live. 18As for his father, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother, and did what is not good among his people, abbehold, he shall die for his iniquity. 19“Yet you say, ac‘Why should not the son suffer for the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done adwhat is just and right, and has been careful to observe all my statutes, aehe shall surely live.
Zephaniah 2:3
3 afSeek the Lord, agall you humble of the land,who do his just commands; ▼
▼Or who carry out his judgment
aiseek righteousness; seek humility;
ajperhaps akyou may be hidden
on the day of the anger of the Lord.
Malachi 3:18
18Then once more you shall alsee the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.
