  • Jer 18:2-9 : 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was working on the wheels. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 At any moment I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them. 9 And at any moment I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it does evil in my sight, so that it does not obey my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them. 11 Now therefore go, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a plan against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own plans, and we will everyone do the imagination of his evil heart.
  • Jer 19:1-9 : 1 Thus says the LORD, Go and get a potter's earthen bottle, and take some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests; 2 And go forth to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the east gate, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell you, 3 And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place, which whoever hears of it, his ears shall tingle. 4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it to other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 5 They have also built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons with fire for burnt offerings to Baal, which I commanded not, nor spoke it, nor did it come into my mind: 6 Therefore, behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, that this place shall no longer be called Tophet, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter. 7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of those who seek their lives: and their corpses will I give to be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth. 8 And I will make this city desolate, and an object of scorn; everyone who passes by it shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues. 9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend during the siege and distress, with which their enemies, and those who seek their lives, shall distress them. 10 Then you shall break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with you, 11 And shall say to them, Thus says the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, until there is no place left to bury. 12 Thus will I do to this place, says the LORD, and to its inhabitants, and even make this city like Tophet: 13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, shall be defiled like the place of Tophet, because of all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings to other gods. 14 Then Jeremiah came from Tophet, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’S house; and said to all the people, 15 Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the disaster that I have pronounced against it, because they have hardened their necks, that they might not hear my words.

  • Ezek 4:1-5:17 : 1 You also, son of man, take a tile and lay it before you, and portray upon it the city, even Jerusalem: 2 And lay siege against it, build a fort against it, and throw up a ramp against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it all around. 3 Moreover, take an iron pan and set it as a wall of iron between you and the city, and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel. 4 Lie also upon your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon it, you shall bear their iniquity. 5 For I have laid upon you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 6 And when you have completed them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year. 7 Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it. 8 Behold, I will put bands upon you, and you shall not turn from one side to another, till you have completed the days of your siege. 9 Take also wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it for the number of the days that you shall lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days you shall eat of it. 10 And the food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time you shall eat it. 11 You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time you shall drink. 12 And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with human dung in their sight. 13 And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them. 14 Then I said, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted, for from my youth up till now I have not eaten of that which dies of itself or is torn in pieces, neither has abominable flesh come into my mouth. 15 Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's dung instead of human dung, and you shall prepare your bread with it. 16 Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment: 17 That they may lack bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and waste away for their iniquity. 1 And you, son of man, take a sharp knife, take a barber's razor, and cause it to pass over your head and your beard: then take scales to weigh and divide the hair. 2 You shall burn with fire a third part in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled: and you shall take a third part, and strike around it with a knife: and a third part you shall scatter to the wind; and I will draw out a sword after them. 3 You shall also take a few in number, and bind them in your skirts. 4 Then take of them again, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it a fire shall come forth into all the house of Israel. 5 Thus says the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are around her. 6 And she has changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries around her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. 7 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have multiplied more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, nor done according to the judgments of the nations around you; 8 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against you, and will execute judgments in your midst in the sight of the nations. 9 And I will do in you what I have not done, and the like of which I will not do anymore, because of all your abominations. 10 Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in your midst, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in you, and the whole remnant of you I will scatter into all the winds. 11 Therefore, as I live, says the Lord GOD; Surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore will I also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, nor will I have any pity. 12 A third part of you shall die with pestilence, and with famine they shall be consumed in your midst: and a third part shall fall by the sword around you; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them. 13 Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in my zeal when I have accomplished my fury in them. 14 Moreover I will make you a waste, and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by. 15 So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment to the nations that are around you, when I shall execute judgments in you in anger and in fury and in fierce rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it. 16 When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread: 17 So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword upon you. I the LORD have spoken it.
  • Ezek 12:3-9 : 3 Therefore, son of man, prepare your belongings for departure, and remove by day in their sight; and you shall move from your place to another place in their sight: it may be they will consider, though they are a rebellious house. 4 Then you shall bring out your belongings by day in their sight, as belongings for exile: and you shall go forth in the evening in their sight, as those who go into captivity. 5 Dig through the wall in their sight, and carry your belongings out through it. 6 In their sight you shall bear it upon your shoulders, and carry it forth at twilight: you shall cover your face, that you do not see the ground: for I have set you as a sign to the house of Israel. 7 And I did so as I was commanded: I brought out my belongings by day, as belongings for captivity, and in the evening I dug through the wall with my hand; I brought them out at twilight, and I bore them on my shoulder in their sight. 8 In the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing? 10 Say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel who are among them. 11 Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so it shall be done to them: they shall move and go into captivity. 12 And the prince who is among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall go forth: they shall dig through the wall to carry out through it: he shall cover his face, that he may not see the ground with his eyes. 13 My net also I will spread upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldeans; yet he shall not see it, though he shall die there. 14 And I will scatter toward every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his bands; and I will draw out the sword after them. 15 And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I scatter them among the nations, and disperse them in the countries. 16 But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they go; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

And he did so, walking naked and barefoot. 3 And the LORD said, Just as my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; 4 So will the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptians as prisoners, and the Ethiopians as captives, young and old, naked and barefoot, with their buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.
