The face of Adonai is against evildoers, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
And it will come to pass that before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Adonai is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those crushed in spirit.
They who looked to Him were radiant, and their faces will never be ashamed.
When he calls on Me, I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble, rescue him, and honor him.
Depart from evil and do good. Seek shalom and pursue it.
In those days Hezekiah became deathly ill, but he prayed to Adonai who responded to him and gave him a sign.
I would have said, ‘I will hack them to pieces, make the memory of them cease from mankind,’

You destroy those who speak falsehood. A person of bloodshed and deceit Adonai detests.
You rebuked the nations, You destroyed the wicked— blotting out their name forever and ever.

The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.
I will set My face against that man. I will make him a sign and a proverb and cut him off from among My people. Then you will know that I am Adonai.
If they should go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword to slay them. I will set My eyes upon them for calamity and not for prosperity.”
