Key Passages
They will be wasted from hungerand ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them,with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
Plague went before Him,and fever followed in His steps.
Yet man is born to troubleas surely as sparks fly upward.
He abandoned their cattle to the hailand their livestock to bolts of lightning.
Set me as a seal over your heart,as a seal upon your arm.For love is as strong as death,its jealousy as unrelenting as Sheol.Its sparks are fiery flames,the fiercest blaze of all.
