Joel 1:1-2 TLB


Isaiah 34:4 At that time the  heavens above will melt away and disappear just like a rolled-up scroll, and the stars will fall as leaves, as ripe fruit from the trees.


Jeremiah 25:30-31 Therefore prophesy against them. Tell them the Lord will shout against his own from his holy temple in heaven and against all those living on the earth, He will shout as the harvesters do who tread the juice from the grapes,


That cry of judgment will reach the farthest ends of the earth, for the Lord has a case against all the nations--all mankind. He will slaughter all the wicked.


Revelation 18:8 Therefore the sorrows of death and mourning and famine shall overtake her in a single day, and she be utterly consumed by fire; for mighty is the Lord who judges her."


Jeremiah 4:1-2 O Israel, if you will truly return to me and absolutely discard your idols,


and if you will swear by me alone, the living God, and begin to live good, honest, clean lives, then you will be a testimony to the nations of the world, and they will come to me and glorify my name.


Psalm 34:17-18 Yes, the Lord hears the good man when he calls to him for help and saves him out of all his troubles.


The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking; he rescues those who are humbly sorry for their sins,


Psalm 51:10-19 Create in me a new, clean heart, O God, filled with clean thoughts and right desires.


Don't toss me aside, banished forever from your presence. Don't take your Holy Spirit from me.


Restore to me again the joy of your salvations, and make me willing to obey you,


Then I will teach your ways to other sinners, and they--guilty like me-- will repent and return to you.


Don't sentence me to death, O my God, You alone can rescue me. Then I will sing of your forgiveness, for my lips will be unsealed --oh, how I will praise you.


You don't want penance; if you did, how gladly I would do it! You aren't interested in offerings burned before you on the altar.


It is broken spirit you want--remorse and penitence. A broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not ignore.


And Lord, don't punish Israel for my sins--help your people and protect Jerusalem.


Exodus 34:5-7 Then the Lord descended in the form of a pillar of cloud and stood there with him, and passed in front of him and announced the meaning of his name.


"I am Jehovah, the merciful and gracious God," he said, "slow to anger and rich in steadfast love and truth,


I, Jehovah, show this steadfast love to many thousands by forgiving their sins; or else I refuse to clear the guilty, and require that a father's sins be punished in the sons and grandsons, and even later generations."


Jeremiah 26:3 For perhaps they will listen and turn from their evil ways, and then I can withhold all the punishment I am ready to pour out upon them because of their evil deeds.


Haggai 2:18-19 "But now note this; From today, this 24th day of the month, as the foundation of the Lord's Temple is finished, and from this day onward, I will bless you.


Notice, I am giving you this promise now before you have even begun to rebuild the Temple structure, and before you have harvested your grain, and before the grapes, the figs, the pomegranates, and olives have produced their next crops; From this day I will bless you."
