24:010:010 But the lord is the true God, he is
the living God, and an
everlasting
king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and
the
nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
24:010:011 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that
have not made the
heavens
and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth,
and
from under these heavens.
24:010:012 He hath made the earth by his power, he
hath established the
world
by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by
his
discretion.
24:010:013 When he uttereth his voice, there is a
multitude of waters in
the
heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from
the
ends
of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and
bringeth
forth the wind out of his treasures.
24:010:014 Every man is brutish in his knowledge:
every founder is
confounded
by the graven image: for his molten image is
falsehood,
and there is no breath in them.
24:010:015 They are vanity, and the work of errors:
in the time of their
visitation
they shall perish.
24:010:016 The portion of Jacob is not like them:
for he is the former of
all
things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance:
The lord
of
hosts is his name.
24:010:017 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O
inhabitant of the
fortress.
24:010:018 For thus saith the lord, Behold, I
will sling out the
inhabitants
of the land at this once, and will distress them,
that
they may find it so.
24:010:019 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous;
but I said, Truly
this
is a grief, and I must bear it.
24:010:020 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords
are broken: my
children
are gone forth of me, and they are not: there
is none
to
stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
24:010:021 For the pastors are become brutish, and
have not sought the
lord:
therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks
shall
be scattered.
24:010:022 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come,
and a great commotion
out
of the north country, to make the cities of Judah
desolate,
and a den of dragons.
24:010:023 O lord, I know that the way of man
is not in himself: it is
not
in man that walketh to direct his steps.
24:010:024 O lord, correct me, but with judgment;
not in thine anger,
lest
thou bring me to nothing.
24:010:025 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that
know thee not, and
upon
the families that call not on thy name: for they
have
eaten
up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have
made
his habitation desolate.
