"The arrogance of man will be brought low and the pride of men humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,"

"Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth."

"I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian— brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom.

"There is nothing Egypt can do— head or tail, palm branch or reed."

"In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will shudder with fear at the uplifted hand that the LORD Almighty raises against them. 17 And the land of Judah will bring terror to the Egyptians; everyone to whom Judah is mentioned will be terrified, because of what the LORD Almighty is planning against them."

"See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants-"

"it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant, for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor."

"The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The LORD has spoken this word."

"The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant."

"This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed."

"Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death."

"But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud."

"There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."

"Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear."
