TSK · Jeremiah 13:16

So Joshua said to Achan,“My son, honor the LORD God of Israel and give him praise! Tell me what you did; don’t hide anything from me!”

Acknowledge the majesty of the LORD’s reputation! Worship the LORD in holy attire!

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD splendor and strength!

So, if a man lives many years, let him rejoice in them all, but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many– all that is about to come is obscure.

At that time they will growl over their prey, it will sound like sea waves crashing against rocks. One will look out over the land and see the darkness of disaster, clouds will turn the light into darkness.

Israel Confesses its Sin For this reason deliverance is far from us and salvation does not reach us. We wait for light, but see only darkness; we wait for a bright light, but live in deep darkness.

For, look, darkness covers the earth and deep darkness covers the nations, but the LORD shines on you; his splendor appears over you.

We hoped for good fortune, but nothing good has come of it. We hoped for a time of relief, but instead we experience terror.

So the paths they follow will be dark and slippery. They will stumble and fall headlong. For I will bring disaster on them. A day of reckoning is coming for them.” The LORD affirms it!

It will be a day of dreadful darkness, a day of foreboding storm clouds, like blackness spread over the mountains. It is a huge and powerful army– there has never been anything like it ever before, and there will not be anything like it for many generations to come!

If you do not listen and take seriously the need to honor my name,” says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies,“I will send judgment on you and turn your blessings into curses– indeed, I have already done so because you are not taking it to heart.

and a stumbling-stone and a rock to trip over. They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
