Hosea Chapter 9: 8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.

 11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

Isaiah Chapter 34: 1 Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all 
that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.

2 For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their 
armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, 
and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled 
together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, 
and as a falling fig from the fig tree.

 5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, 
and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.

 6 The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the 
blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a 
sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.

7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and 
their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

8 For it is the day of the LORD'S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the 
controversy of Zion.

9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into 
brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from 
generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.

 11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall 
dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of 
emptiness.

12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all 
her princes shall be nothing.

13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses 
thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.

14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and 
the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself 
a place of rest.

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her 
shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

 16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none 
shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered 
them.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: 
they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
