"The LORDshall neverbe willingto forgivehim, but ratherthe angerof the LORDand His jealousywill burnagainst that man,and everycursewhich is writtenin thisbookwill reston him, and the LORDwill blotout his namefrom underheaven.
The LORDsaid,"I will blotout manwhomI have createdfrom the faceof the land,from manto animalsto creepingthingsand to birdsof the sky;for I amsorrythat I have madethem."
The LORDdid not saythat He would blotout the nameof Israelfrom underheaven,but He savedthem by the handof Jeroboamthe sonof Joash.
Smokewentup out of His nostrils,And firefrom His mouthdevoured;Coalswere kindledby it.
May they be blottedout of the bookof lifeAnd may they not be recordedwith the righteous.
O God,whyhave You rejected[us] forever?Why does Your angersmokeagainst the sheepof Your pasture?
He leveleda pathfor His anger;He did not sparetheir soulfrom death,But gaveovertheir lifeto the plague,
For they provokedHim with their highplacesAnd aroused His jealousywith their gravenimages.
Howlong,O LORD?Will You be angryforever?Will Your jealousyburnlikefire?
O LORDGod[of] hosts,Howlongwill You be angrywith the prayerof Your people?
"You shall not worshipthem or servethem; for I, the LORDyour God,am a jealousGod,visitingthe iniquityof the fatherson the children,on the thirdand the fourthgenerations of those who hateMe,
for you shall not worshipanyothergod,for the LORD,whose nameis Jealous,is a jealousGod--
But the wickedwill be cutofffrom the landAnd the treacherouswill be uprootedfrom it.
For jealousyenragesa man,And he will not sparein the dayof vengeance.
"Putme like a sealoveryour heart,Like a sealon your arm.For loveis as strongas death,Jealousyis as severeas Sheol;Its flashesare flashesof fire,The [very] flameof the LORD.
When its limbsare dry,they are brokenoff; Womencome[and] makea firewith them, For they are not a peopleof discernment,Thereforetheir Makerwill not havecompassionon them. And their Creatorwill not be graciousto them.
"I will dashthem againsteachother,both the fathersand the sonstogether,"declaresthe LORD."I will not showpitynorbe sorrynorhavecompassionso as not to destroythem."'"
I will setMy jealousyagainst you, that they may dealwith you in wrath.They will removeyour noseand your ears;and your survivorswill fallby the sword.They will takeyour sonsand your daughters;and your survivorswill be consumedby the fire.
"I, the LORD,have spoken;it is comingand I will act.I will not relent,and I will not pityand I will not be sorry;according to your waysand according to your deedsI will judgeyou," declaresthe LordGOD.'"
thereforethussaysthe LordGOD,"Surelyin the fireof My jealousyI have spokenagainstthe restof the nations,and againstallEdom,whoappropriatedMy landfor themselves as a possessionwith wholeheartedjoy[and] with scornof soul,to driveit out for a prey."
Soas I live,'declaresthe LordGOD,'surely,becauseyou have defiledMy sanctuarywith allyour detestableidolsand with allyour abominations,therefore I will alsowithdraw,and My eyewill havenopityand I will not spare.
For My eyewill havenopityon you, norwill I spare[you], but I will bringyour waysupon you, and your abominationswill be amongyou; then you will knowthat I am the LORD!'
My eyewill shownopitynorwill I spare.I will repayyou according to your ways,while your abominationsare in your midst;then you will knowthat I, the LORD,do the smiting.
"Therefore, I indeedwill dealin wrath.My eyewill havenopitynorwill I spare;and though they cryin My earswith a loudvoice,yet I will not listento them."
He stretchedout the formof a handand caughtme by a lockof my head;and the Spiritliftedme up betweenearthand heavenand broughtme in the visionsof Godto Jerusalem,to the entranceof the northgateof the inner[court], wherethe seatof the idolof jealousy,whichprovokesto jealousy,was [located].
Then He saidto me, "Sonof man,raiseyour eyesnowtowardthe north."So I raisedmy eyestowardthe north,and behold,to the northof the altargate[was] thisidolof jealousyat the entrance.
"But as for Me, My eyewill havenopitynorwill I spare,but I will bringtheir conductupon their heads."
A jealousand avengingGodis the LORD;The LORDis avengingand wrathful.The LORDtakesvengeanceon His adversaries,And He reserveswrathfor His enemies.
Neithertheir silvernortheir goldWill be ableto deliverthem On the dayof the LORD'Swrath;And allthe earthwill be devouredIn the fireof His jealousy,For He will makea completeend,Indeeda terrifyingone, Of allthe inhabitantsof the earth.
for ifGoddid not sparethe naturalbranches,He will not spareyou, either.
He whodid not spareHis ownSon,but deliveredHim over for us all,howwill He not alsowith Him freely giveus all things?
Ordo we provokethe Lordto jealousy?We are not strongerthan He, are we?
"Therefore it shall comeabout when the LORDyour Godhas givenyou restfrom allyour surroundingenemies,in the landwhichthe LORDyour Godgivesyou as an inheritanceto possess,you shall blotout the memoryof Amalekfrom underheaven;you must not forget.
"It shall be when he hearsthe wordsof thiscurse,that he will boast,saying,'I havepeacethoughI walkin the stubbornnessof my heartin orderto destroythe watered[land] with the dry.'
LetMe alone,that I may destroythem and blotout their namefrom underheaven;and I will makeof you a nationmightierand greaterthanthey.'
for our Godis a consumingfire.
He who overcomeswill thusbe clothedin whitegarments;and I will not erasehis namefrom the bookof life,and I will confesshis namebeforeMy Fatherand beforeHis angels.
