To the Land

The Lord says to the land, “ Behold I will draw out the weapons of My indignation against both the wicked and the righteous of the land. Because I come to judge both the righteous and the wicked my wrath is against all flesh in the land that they may know that I pour out upon them My wrath.
When the news comes to the people every heart shall melt, every hand will tremble, and every spirit shall be faint and every knee shall be weak as water. It is coming and it shall be brought to pass.

Now I judge this people because of all of their abomination’s. This people shed blood in the midst of the land and they set up idols in their heart with which to defile themselves.
This people has become guilty by the blood which they have shed and because they defile themselves with the idols which you have set up in your heart.
This people has caused the end of their days to draw near. Therefore I have made you a reproach to all people and a mockery. Those near and those far will mock you as infamous.

Look now all of your rulers have used their power to shed blood in you, in you they have make light of mother and father, working to defame and bring to shame the families, they oppress the stranger, the fatherless and the widows, they despise My holy things and defile My sabbath’s.
In you there are men who slander to shed blood, in your midst they commit lewdness, they uncover their fathers nakedness, one commits abomination with his neighbors wife while another lewdly defile’s his daughter in law, one violates his sister the daughter of his father.

They accept bribery to shed blood, by usery and extortion they have stolen the monies from their neighbor and they have forgotten Me in all their ways.
Therefore I beat My fist together at your dishonest gain whichis in your midst.
Can your heart endure and your hands remain strong when my wrath comes against you?

Because of this I will scatter you and disperse you among the nations. I will remove your filthiness from you and you will despise yourself in the sight of the nations.
Then you shall know that I am the Lord.

I shall gather you together in the cities and there I will blow upon you with the fire of My jealousy and there I will melt you as iron is melted in a furnace. Then you shall know that I the Lord have poured out My fury upon you.

The leaders of this people are like wolves tearing at the people working for dishonest gain. The people of this land have used oppression and committed robbery, they have mistreated the poor and needy and wrongly oppressed the stranger.

I looked for someone to stand before Me on behalf of the land that I should not destroy it yet I found no one.
Therefore I will pour out My fury and the fire of My wrath upon them and I will recompense their own deeds upon their heads.
