Psalm 2:10-12 (CJB) Kings, be wise;be warned, you judges of the earth.Serve ADONAI with fear;rejoice, but with trembling.Kiss the son, lest he be angry,and you perish along the way,when suddenly his anger blazes.How blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Zechariah 9:5-7 (NIV) Gaza will lose her kingand Ashkelon will be deserted. A mongrel people will occupy Ashdod,and I will put an end to the pride of the Philistines. I will take the blood from their mouths, the forbidden food from between their teeth. Those who are left will belong to our Godand become a clan in Judah,and Ekron will be like the Jebusites.
Jeremiah 12:14-16 (CJB) Here is what ADONAI says: “As for all my evil neighbors who encroach on the heritage I gave to my people Isra’el as their possession, I will uproot them from their own land, and I will uproot Y’hudah from among them. Then, after I have uprooted them, I will take pity on them again and bring them back, each one to his inheritance, each one to his own land.
Jeremiah 12:14-16 (CJB) Then, if they will carefully learn my people’s ways, swearing by my name, ‘As ADONAI lives,’ just as they taught my people to swear by Ba‘al, they will be built up among my people. But if they refuse to listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it,” says ADONAI.
Psalm 33:10-12 (CJB) ADONAI brings to nothing the plans of nations, he foils the plans of the peoples. But the counsel of ADONAI stands forever, his heart’s plans are for all generations. How blessed is the nation whose God is ADONAI, the people he chose as his heritage!

Even on my slaves, both men and women, will I pour out from my Spirit in those days; and they will prophesy.
