TSK · Isaiah 49:25

I will bless those who bless you, but the one who treats you lightly I must curse, so that all the families of the earth may receive blessing through you.”

How can I curse one whom God has not cursed, or how can I denounce one whom the LORD has not denounced?

Nations will take them and bring them back to their own place. Then the family of Israel will make foreigners their servants as they settle in the LORD’s land. They will make their captors captives and rule over the ones who oppressed them.

Tell those who panic,“Be strong! Do not fear! Look, your God comes to avenge! With divine retribution he comes to deliver you.”

When you will look for your opponents, you will not find them; your enemies will be reduced to absolutely nothing.

Shake off the dirt! Get up, captive Jerusalem! Take off the iron chains around your neck, O captive daughter Zion!

If anyone dares to challenge you, it will not be my doing! Whoever tries to challenge you will be defeated.

For the LORD will rescue the descendants of Jacob. He will secure their release from those who had overpowered them.

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says,“The people of Israel are oppressed. So too are the people of Judah. All those who took them captive are holding them prisoners. They refuse to set them free.

Moreover, as for you, because of our covenant relationship secured with blood, I will release your prisoners from the waterless pit.

Moreover, on that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy burden for all the nations, and all who try to carry it will be seriously injured; yet all the peoples of the earth will be assembled against it.

But this will be the nature of the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that have fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will decay while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot away in their sockets, and their tongues will dissolve in their mouths.

But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.

The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil.
