“Rebuke And Further Rebuke”

The word of Hashem came to me, saying: “Do not take for yourself a wife, so that you do not have sons and daughters in this place.
16:1-2
For thus said Hashem: Do not go to a house of mourning and do not go to eulogize nor to shake [your head] for them; for I have revoked My peace and kindness and mercy from this people — the word of Hashem.
:5
No one will break bread for their bereavement to comfort them for the dead; no one will offer them a cup of consolations for their father and for their mother.
:7
Also, do not go to a house of merrymaking, to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
:8
Say to them: It is because your forefathers have forsaken Me — the word of Hashem — and they followed the gods of others; they worshiped them and prostrated themselves before them; but Me, they forsook; and My Torah they did not observe.
:11
And you have acted worse than your forefathers, for each one of you follows the vision of his evil heart, in order not to listen to Me.
:12
However, behold — days are coming — the word of Hashem — when it will not longer be said, ‘As Hashem lives, Who took out the Children of Israel from the land of the North and from all the lands where He had scattered them’; and I shall return them to their land, which I gave to their forefathers,
:14
but rather, ‘As Hashem lives, Who took out the Children of Israel from the land of the North and from all the lands where He had scattered them’; and I shall return them to their land, which I gave to their forefathers.
:15
For My eyes are upon all their ways; they are not hidden from before Me, and their sin is not concealed from before My eyes.
:17
Hashem, my strength, my Stronghold and my Refuge on the day of distress! To you nations will come from the ends of the earth and say: “It was all falsehood that our ancestors inherited, futility that has no purpose. Can a man make gods for himself? — they are not gods!”
:19-20
Can a man make gods for himself? — they are not gods!”
:20
Therefore, behold, I inform them at this time, I shall let them know of My hand and My strength; and they shall know that My Name is Hashem!
:21

1 And the word of the Lord came to me saying:
2 You shall take no wife, and you shall have no sons or daughters in this place.
3 For so said the Lord regarding the sons and the daughters born in this place and regarding their mothers who bear them and their fathers who beget them in this land.
4 Deaths of sicknesses shall they die; they shall neither be lamented nor buried; they shall be as dung on the face of the ground, and with the sword and with famine shall they perish, and their carcasses shall be for food for the fowl of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth.
5 For so said the Lord: Do not go into a house of mourning, neither go to lament, nor bemoan them, for I have gathered in My peace from this people, says the Lord, the lovingkindness and the mercies.
6 And large and small shall die in this land, they shall not be buried, and men shall not lament for them and they shall not cut their flesh, nor shall they tear their hair for them.
7 And they shall not break [bread] for them in mourning, to console him for the dead, neither will they give them to drink a cup of consolation for his father or for his mother.
8 And to a house of feasting you shall not go to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
9 For so said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will cut off from this place in your presence and in your days a voice of mirth and a voice of gladness, a voice of a bridegroom, and a voice of a bride.
10 And it shall be, that you shall tell this people all these things, and they shall say to you, “For what did the Lord speak about us all this great evil, and what is our iniquity and what is our sin that we have sinned to the Lord our God?”
11 And you shall say to them, “Because your fathers have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and they followed other gods and worshipped them and prostrated themselves before them, but they forsook Me, and did not keep My Torah.
12 And you have done worse than your fathers, and behold, you are going, each one after the view of his evil heart, not to hearken to Me.
13 And I will cast you off this land to a land that you and your fathers did not know, and you shall serve there other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.
14 Therefore, behold days are coming, says the Lord, and it shall no longer be said, “As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,”
15 But, “As the Lord lives, Who brought up the children of Israel from the northland and from all the lands where He had driven them, ” and I will restore them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.
16 Behold I will send for many fishers, says the Lord, and they will fish them, and afterwards I will send to many hunters and they will hunt them from upon every mountain and upon every hill, and from the clefts of the rocks.
17 For My eyes are on all their ways, they were not hidden from before Me, neither was their iniquity hidden from before My eyes.
18 And I will pay first the doubling of their iniquity and their sin, for their profaning My land; with the carcass of their detestable things and their abominations they filled My heritage.
19 O Lord, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, “Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail!
20 Can a man make gods for himself, and they are no gods?”
21 Therefore, behold I let them know; at this time I will let them know My power and My might, and they shall know that My Name is the Lord.

GALLERY
Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
