For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should you be completely unpunished? you shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says the LORD of hosts.
For thus says the LORD; Behold, those who were not sentenced to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? you shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.
And if some of the branches are broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.
I intend therefore to put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
