  • Ezek 13:10-16 : 10 Because they have misled my people by saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because when a flimsy wall is built, they plaster it over with whitewash, 11 say to those who plaster it with whitewash that it will fall. There will be a flooding rain, hailstones will fall, and a stormy wind will break it. 12 When the wall falls, people will ask you, ‘Where is the whitewash you applied?’ 13 Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: In my wrath, I will unleash a stormy wind. In my anger, there will be flooding rain, and hailstones in fury will bring about destruction. 14 I will break down the wall that you plastered with whitewash, and bring it down to the ground so that its foundation is exposed. It will collapse, and you will perish within it. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 15 So I will pour out my wrath on the wall and on those who plaster it with whitewash. I will tell you, ‘The wall is gone, and so are those who plastered it,’ 16 along with the prophets of Israel who prophesied concerning Jerusalem and claimed visions of peace for her when there was no peace, declares the Lord GOD.
  • Matt 12:43-45 : 43 When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it passes through arid places seeking rest but does not find it. 44 Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it returns, it finds the house empty, swept clean, and in order. 45 Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there.

  • Matt 13:19-22 : 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed sown on rocky ground is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed sown among thorns is the one who hears the word, but the worries of this age and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.

And again, 'The Lord will judge His people.' 31 It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
