Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:

He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up:

Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.

For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

And Abimelech fought against the city all that day; and he took the city, and slew the people that was therein, and beat down the city, and sowed it with salt.

But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.
