Exodus 5:2
2But Pharaoh said, a“Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, bI will not let Israel go.”2 Chronicles 32:14-19
14Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers devoted to destruction was able to deliver his people from my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand? 15Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you in this fashion, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand!’”16And his servants said still more against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah. 17And he wrote letters to cast contempt on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, “Like the gods of the nations of the lands who have not delivered their people from my hands, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver his people from my hand.” 18And they shouted it with a loud voice in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, in order that they might take the city. 19And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they spoke of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
Job 34:7-8
7What man is like Job,who cdrinks up scoffing like water,
8who travels in company with evildoers
and walks dwith wicked men?
Psalms 10:11
11He says in his heart, “God has forgotten,he has ehidden his face, he fwill never see it.”
Isaiah 5:19
19who say: g“Let him be quick,let him speed his work
that we may see it;
let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw near,
and let it come, that we may know it!”
Isaiah 28:14-15
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you hscoffers,who rule this people in Jerusalem!
15Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the ioverwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made jlies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
Malachi 2:17
The Messenger of the Lord
17 kYou have wearied the Lord with your words. lBut you say, “How have we wearied him?” mBy saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the Lord, and he delights in them.” Or by asking, n“Where is the God of justice?”
