Key Passages
This day the LORD will deliver you into my hand. This day I will strike you down, cut off your head, and give the carcasses of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the creatures of the earth. Then the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
“In that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “the songs of the temple will turn to wailing. Many will be the corpses, strewn in silence everywhere!”
And the birds of prey descended on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away.
“As they go forth, they will see the corpsesof the men who have rebelled against Me;for their worm will never die,their fire will never be quenched,and they will be a horrorto all mankind.”
I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
