Are not the things of which I have been writing, even the responses thereof, exactly the same as times past?
Zechariah 7 (NIV)
⁹"This is what the LORD Almighty said: ’Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. ¹⁰Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’ ¹¹"But they refused to pay attention; stubbornly they turned their backs and covered their ears.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
Jeremiah 14 (NLT)
¹³Then I said, “O Sovereign lord, their prophets are telling them, ‘All is well—no war or famine will come. The lord will surely send you peace.’” ¹⁴Then the lord said, “These prophets are telling lies in my name. I did not send them or tell them to speak. I did not give them any messages. They prophesy of visions and revelations they have never seen or heard. They speak foolishness made up in their own lying hearts. ¹⁵Therefore, this is what the lord says: I will punish these lying prophets, for they have spoken in my name even though I never sent them. They say that no war or famine will come, but they themselves will die by war and famine!
¹⁶As for the people to whom they prophesy—their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and war. There will be no one left to bury them. Husbands, wives, sons, and daughters—all will be gone. For I will pour out their own wickedness on them.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
Jeremiah 26:9 (CSB)
How dare you prophesy in the name of the LORD, 'This temple will become like Shiloh and this city will become an uninhabited ruin'!" Then all the people assembled against Jeremiah at the LORD's temple.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
Jeremiah 18:18 (NLT)
Then the people said, “Come on, let’s plot a way to stop Jeremiah. We have plenty of priests and wise men and prophets. We don’t need him to teach the Word and give us advice and prophecies. Let’s spread rumors about him and ignore what he says.”
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
Isaiah 30 (NLT)
⁸Now go and write down these words. Write them in a book. They will stand until the end of time as a witness ⁹that these people are stubborn rebels who refuse to pay attention to the lord’s instructions. ¹⁰They tell the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” They tell the prophets, “Don’t tell us what is right. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies. ¹¹Forget all this gloom. Get off your narrow path. Stop telling us about your ‘Holy One of Israel.’”
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
Zechariah 7:13 (AMP)
So it came to pass that as He cried and they would not hear [He said], So they shall cry and I will not answer, says the Lord of hosts,
Ecclesiastes 1:9 (MSG)
What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing.
How arrogant to think that you're entitled to God's blessings, but somehow, immune to His wrath: especially, as His people.
Recommended Reading: Isaiah Ch. 30 (Because the prophecy has again been despised)
