TSK · Deuteronomy 31:17

You must not tremble in their presence, for the LORD your God, who is present among you, is a great and awesome God.

Then all the nations will ask,“Why has the LORD done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger all about?”

Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live!

The LORD was furious with Israel and handed them over to robbers who plundered them. He turned them over to their enemies who lived around them. They could no longer withstand their enemies’ attacks.

“And you, Solomon my son, obey the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, for the LORD examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.

So Edom has remained free from Judah’s control to this very day. At that same time Libnah also rebelled and freed themselves from Judah’s control because Jehoram rejected the LORD God of his ancestors.

“So now, our God– the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity– do not regard as inconsequential all the hardship that has befallen us– our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people– from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day!

For he repays a person for his work, and according to the conduct of a person, he causes the consequences to find him.

Do not reject me! Do not push your servant away in anger! You are my deliverer! Do not forsake or abandon me, O God who vindicates me!

You made us retreat from the enemy. Those who hate us take whatever they want from us.

Who can really fathom the intensity of your anger? Your raging fury causes people to fear you.

The Lord’s Day of Judgment Indeed, O LORD, you have abandoned your people, the descendants of Jacob. For diviners from the east are everywhere; they consult omen readers like the Philistines do. Plenty of foreigners are around.

I will wait patiently for the LORD, who has rejected the family of Jacob; I will wait for him.

No one invokes your name, or makes an effort to take hold of you. For you have rejected us and handed us over to our own sins.

The LORD said to me,“Jeremiah, when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you,‘What burdensome message do you have from the LORD?’Tell them,‘You are the burden, and I will cast you away. I, the LORD, affirm it!

‘The defenders of the city will go out and fight with the Babylonians. But they will only fill those houses and buildings with the dead bodies of the people that I will kill in my anger and my wrath. That will happen because I have decided to turn my back on this city on account of the wicked things they have done.

According to their uncleanness and rebellion I have dealt with them, and I hid my face from them.

Even if they raise their children, I will take away every last one of them. Woe to them! For I will turn away from them.
