20  If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange gods, then he will turn and do you ^bhurt, and consume you, after that he hath done you good.

  15  But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then shall the ^bhand of the Lord be against you, as it was against your fathers.

  20  And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot ^bprosper? because ye have forsaken the Lord, he hath also forsaken you.

  21  Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will lay ^astumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall fall upon them; the neighbour and his friend shall perish.

  7  And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a ^asnare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?

  25  How oft have I ^acalled upon you by the mouth of my servants, and by the ministering of angels, and by mine own voice, and by the voice of thunderings, and by the voice of lightnings, and by the voice of tempests, and by the voice of earthquakes, and great hailstorms, and by the voice of famines and pestilences of every kind, and by the great sound of a trump, and by the voice of judgment, and by the voice of mercy all the day long, and by the voice of glory and honor and the riches of eternal life, and would have saved you with an everlasting salvation, but ye would not!
