Isaiah 37:26-29

26 ^f“‘Have you not heard
that I determined it long ago?
I planned from days of old
what now I bring to pass,
that you should make fortified cities
crash into heaps of ruins,
27 while their inhabitants, shorn of strength,
are dismayed and confounded,
and have become like plants of the field
and like tender grass,
like grass on the housetops,
blighted ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts and 2 Kings 19:26; most Hebrew manuscripts like a field} before it is grown.
28 “‘I know your sitting down
and your going out and coming in,
and your raging against me.
29 ^hBecause you have raged against me
and your complacency has come to my ears,
I will put my hook in your nose
and my bit in your mouth,
and ⁱI will turn you back on the way
by which you came.’

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12

9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^jwith all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for ^kthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore ^lGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^mwhat is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned ⁿwho did not believe the truth but ^ohad pleasure in unrighteousness.
