6 empty Egyptian boasts and God's answer in Exodus 15:9,10

Exodus 15:9,10

The enemy boasted,

I will pursue,

I will overtake them.
I will divide the spoils;
I will gorge myself on them.
I will draw my sword
and my hand will destroy them.

But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank like lead in the mighty waters.

21 terrible things Eliphaz says will happen to the wicked in Job 15

Job 15:20-35

All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.

21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears;

when all seems well, marauders attack him.

22 He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness;

he is marked for the sword.

23 He wanders about for food like a vulture;

he knows the day of darkness is at hand.

24 Distress and anguish fill him with terror;

troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,

25 because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty, 26 defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield. 27 "Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh,

28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.

29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.

30 He will not escape the darkness;

a flame will wither his shoots,

and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away.

31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless,

for he will get nothing in return.

32 Before his time he will wither,

and his branches will not flourish.

33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes,

like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.

34 For the company of the godless will be barren,

and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.

35 They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit."

5 Swords against the Babylonians in Jeremiah 50:35-37

Jeremiah 50:35-37

A sword against the Babylonians! declares the LORD - against those who live in Babylon and against her officials and wise men!

A sword against her false prophets! They will become fools.

A sword against her warriors! They will be filled with terror.

A sword against her horses and chariots and all the foreigners in her ranks! They will become weaklings.

A sword against her treasures! They will be plundered.

21 and more nations and kings who must drink the cup of God's wrath Jeremiah 25:15-29

15-17 This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from my hand this cup filled with the wine of my wrath and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they drink it, they will stagger and go mad because of the sword I will send among them.” So I took the cup from the Lord’s hand and made all the nations to whom he sent me drink it:

18 Jerusalem and the towns of Judah, its kings and officials, to make them a ruin and an object of horror and scorn, a curse - as they are today;

19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, his attendants, his officials and all his people, 20 and all the foreign people there;

all the kings of Uz;

all the kings of the Philistines (those of Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the people left at Ashdod);

21 Edom,

Moab

and Ammon;

22 all the kings of Tyre

and Sidon;

the kings of the coastlands across the sea;

23 Dedan,

Tema,

Buz

and all who are in distant places;

24 all the kings of Arabia

and all the kings of the foreign people who live in the wilderness;

25 all the kings of Zimri,

Elam

and Media;

26 and all the kings of the north, near and far, one after the other - all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

And after all of them, the king of Sheshak (Babylon) will drink it too.

27 “Then tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Drink, get drunk and vomit, and fall to rise no more because of the sword I will send among you.’ 28 But if they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink, tell them, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: You must drink it! 29 See, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears my Name, and will you indeed go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword on all who live on the earth, declares the Lord Almighty.’
