    Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

    Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

    Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

    Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,

    And prudent in their own sight!

Isaiah 5:20-21

He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;

    For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

    Woe to those who join house to house;

    They add field to field,

    Till there is no place

    Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!

    In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,

    “Truly, many houses shall be desolate,

    Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.

IS 5:7b-9

O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err,

    And destroy the way of your paths.”

    The Lord stands up to plead,

    And stands to judge the people.

    The Lord will enter into judgment

    With the elders of His people

    And His princes:

    “For you have eaten up the vineyard;

    The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

    What do you mean by crushing My people

    And grinding the faces of the poor?”

    Says the Lord GOD of hosts.

Is:3-12b-15

    “Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;

    Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.

    Cease to do evil,

    Learn to do good;

    Seek justice,

    Rebuke the oppressor;

    Defend the fatherless,

    Plead for the widow.

Is1:16-17

 Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,

    From the terror of the Lord

    And the glory of His majesty.

    The lofty looks of man shall be humbled,

    The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,

    And the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.

    For the day of the Lord of hosts

    Shall come upon everything proud and lofty,

    Upon everything lifted up—

    And it shall be brought low—

Is2:10-12

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down,

    And the haughtiness of men shall be brought low;

    The Lord alone will be exalted in that day,

    But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

    They shall go into the holes of the rocks,

    And into the caves of the earth,

    From the terror of the Lord

    And the glory of His majesty,

    When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver

    And his idols of gold,

    Which they made, each for himself to worship,

    To the moles and bats,

    To go into the clefts of the rocks,

    And into the crags of the rugged rocks,

    From the terror of the Lord

    And the glory of His majesty,

    When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

Is2:18-21

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Rev 6:15-16

“Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them,

    For they shall eat the fruit of their doings.

    Woe to the wicked! It shall be ill with him,

    For the reward of his hands shall be given him.

Is3:10-11

He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;

    For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.

Is5:7b

People shall be brought down,

    Each man shall be humbled,

    And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.

    But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,

    And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.

Is 5:15-16

He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,

    And will whistle to them from the end of the earth;

    Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.

Is5:26

Whose arrows are sharp,

    And all their bows bent;

    Their horses’ hooves will seem like flint,

    And their wheels like a whirlwind.

    Their roaring will be like a lion,

    They will roar like young lions;

    Yes, they will roar

    And lay hold of the prey;

    They will carry it away safely,

    And no one will deliver.

    In that day they will roar against them

    Like the roaring of the sea.

Is5:28-30a

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing,

    Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

    A lion has roared!

    Who will not fear?

    The Lord GOD has spoken!

    Who can but prophesy?

Amos 3: 7 & 8

He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Rev 19:13-16

Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”

Jude 14 & 15

I saw the Lord of Hosts prancing over Jerusalem on His white charger sword and spear in hand. His charger reared up as he transformed into a great lion full of glory roaring over the city.

Even so maranatha Lord!

In Yeshua’s love,
