  • Isa 20:2-4 : 2 at that time, the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, 'Go, untie the sackcloth from around your waist and remove the sandals from your feet.' And he did so, walking around naked and barefoot. 3 Then the LORD said, 'Just as my servant Isaiah has walked around naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a warning against Egypt and Cush,' 4 'so will the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush—young and old—naked and barefoot, with their buttocks exposed, bringing shame to Egypt.'
  • Jer 13:1-9 : 1 Thus the LORD said to me, "Go and buy a linen waistband, and put it around your waist, but do not put it in water." 2 So I bought the waistband as the LORD had instructed, and I put it around my waist. 3 Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, 4 "Take the waistband you bought and are wearing, arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock." 5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, just as the LORD commanded me. 6 After many days, the LORD said to me, "Arise, go to the Euphrates, and retrieve the waistband from the place where I hid it." 7 So I went to the Euphrates, dug it out, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. But behold, the waistband was ruined and no longer useful for anything. 8 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 "This is what the LORD says: 'In this way I will ruin the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 These evil people, who refuse to listen to my words, who follow the stubbornness of their hearts, and who follow other gods to serve and worship them, will become like this waistband—useless for anything. 11 For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I made the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah cling to me,' declares the LORD, 'to be my people, my renown, my praise, and my glory. But they would not listen.'
  • Jer 18:2-9 : 2 “Rise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will let you hear My words.” 3 So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was working at the wheel. 4 But the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, so he remade it into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make. 5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 6 “Can I not do with you, O house of Israel, as this potter does?” declares the Lord. “Behold, like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. 7 At any moment I might speak concerning a nation or a kingdom, to uproot it, tear it down, or destroy it. 8 But if that nation I have warned repents of its evil, then I will relent concerning the disaster I had planned to bring upon it. 9 And at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or kingdom, to build it up or to plant it. 10 But if it does evil in My sight by not listening to My voice, then I will relent concerning the good I had promised to bless it with.
  • Jer 19:1-9 : 1 This is what the LORD said: Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and of the priests with you. 2 Go out to the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate, and there proclaim the words I tell you. 3 Say, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, you kings of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I am about to bring disaster on this place that will make the ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. 4 For they have abandoned Me and made this place foreign. They have burned incense here to other gods—gods that neither they, their ancestors, nor the kings of Judah have known. And they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent. 5 They have built high places to Baal to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I did not command or speak of, nor did it ever enter My mind. 6 So beware! The days are coming,’ declares the LORD, ‘when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. 7 In this place, I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies and at the hands of those who seek their lives. I will give their dead bodies as food to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the earth. 8 I will make this city desolate and an object of scorn. Everyone who passes by will be appalled and will scoff because of all its wounds. 9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another's flesh because of the siege and distress that their enemies and those who seek their lives will impose on them. 10 Then you are to break the jar in the presence of those who are with you. 11 And say to them, ‘This is what the LORD Almighty says: I will break this people and this city as one breaks a potter’s jar that cannot be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury.’
  • Jer 27:12 : 12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah with the same message, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon; serve him and his people, and you will live.
  • Jer 28:10-14 : 10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it. 11 And Hananiah declared in the presence of all the people, saying, 'This is what the LORD says: Within two years, I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, from the necks of all the nations.' At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way. 12 After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying: 13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, 'This is what the LORD says: You have broken wooden yokes, but in their place you have made iron yokes.' 14 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: 'I have placed an iron yoke on the neck of all these nations, to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I have even given him control over the beasts of the field.'
  • Ezek 4:1-5 : 1 Now, you, son of man, take a brick and set it before you; then inscribe on it the city of Jerusalem. 2 Build siege works against it, construct a ramp, set up camps around it, and place battering rams against it all around. 3 Then take an iron plate and place it as an iron wall between yourself and the city. Set your face against it, besiege it, and let it be under siege. This will be a sign for the house of Israel. 4 Lie on your left side and put the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. You will bear their iniquity for the number of days you lie on that side. 5 I assign you the years of their iniquity as the number of days—three hundred ninety days—during which you will bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
  • Ezek 12:1-9 : 1 The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 2 Son of man, you are living among a rebellious house. They have eyes to see but do not see, and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious house. 3 Therefore, son of man, pack your belongings as if for exile and go into exile in their sight—by day, in their sight—so that they may see. Move from your place to another place in their sight. Perhaps they will understand, though they are a rebellious house. 4 Bring out your belongings as if for exile during the day, in their sight. Then, in the evening, leave in their sight, as if you were departing into exile. 5 In their sight, dig through the wall and carry your belongings through it. 6 Carry your things on your shoulder in their sight, at dusk. Cover your face so that you cannot see the land, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel. 7 So I did as I was commanded. By day, I brought out my belongings as if for exile. In the evening, I dug through the wall with my hands. I brought them out at dusk, carrying them on my shoulder in their sight. 8 Then in the morning, the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, that rebellious house, asked you, ‘What are you doing?’ 10 Say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: This oracle concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are in the city.’ 11 Say, ‘I am a sign to you. As I have done, so it will be done to them. They will go into exile, into captivity.’ 12 The prince who is among them will shoulder his belongings and leave in the darkness. They will dig through the wall to bring him out. He will cover his face so that he cannot see the land. 13 I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, but he will not see it, and there he will die. 14 I will scatter all who are around him—his helpers and all his troops—to every wind, and I will draw my sword after them. 15 Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the lands. 16 But I will spare a few of them from the sword, famine, and plague so that they may recount all their detestable practices among the nations where they go. Then they will know that I am the LORD. 17 The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 18 Son of man, eat your bread with trembling, and drink your water with shaking and anxiety. 19 Say to the people of the land, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says about the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will eat their bread with anxiety and drink their water in desolation, for their land will be stripped of all it contains because of the violence of all who live there.’ 20 The inhabited cities will be laid waste, and the land will become desolate. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 21 The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 22 Son of man, what is this proverb you have in the land of Israel: 'The days grow long, and every vision fails'? 23 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put an end to this proverb, and it will not be quoted in Israel anymore.’ But say to them, ‘The days are near when all visions will be fulfilled.’ 24 For there will no longer be any false visions or flattering divinations within the house of Israel. 25 For I am the LORD. I will speak, and whatever word I speak will come to pass. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will say the word and fulfill it, declares the Lord GOD. 26 The word of the LORD came to me, saying: 27 Son of man, the house of Israel is saying, ‘The vision he sees is for many days from now; he prophesies about times far off.’ 28 Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: None of My words will be delayed any longer, but whatever I speak will be fulfilled, declares the Lord GOD.’
  • Ezek 24:3-9 : 3 Speak a parable to the rebellious house and say to them, 'This is what the Lord God says: Put the pot on, put it on, and pour water into it. 4 Gather its pieces into it, every good piece—thigh and shoulder. Fill it with the choicest bones. 5 Take the best of the flock, pile wood under it, and boil its parts until its bones are thoroughly cooked. 6 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot whose corrosion is in it and whose rust will not come off! Take its pieces out one by one; no lot will be cast for them. 7 For the blood she has shed is inside her; she placed it on the bare rock. She did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To stir up wrath and bring vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so it would not be covered. 9 Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: Woe to the city of bloodshed! I myself will make the fire great. 10 Heap on the wood, kindle the fire, boil the flesh thoroughly, mix in the spices, and let the bones burn. 11 Set the pot on its coals empty, so that it may become hot and its bronze burned. Its filthiness will melt away; its corrosion will be consumed. 12 She has wearied herself with toil, and her heavy corrosion has not gone from her; her rust will be burned away in the fire.
