Punishment: Divine: No Escape From

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and escape will elude them; they will hope for their last breath.”

Because you refused my call, and no one took my outstretched hand, …

Be assured that the wicked will not go unpunished, but the offspring of the righteous will escape.

Everyone who is proud in heart is detestable to the LORD; be assured that he will not go unpunished.

A man who remains stiff-necked after much reproof will suddenly be shattered beyond recovery.

Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘I am about to bring upon them a disaster that they cannot escape. They will cry out to Me, but I will not listen to them.

Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go!

If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!

For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’

They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will seem unclean. Their silver and gold cannot save them in the day of the wrath of the LORD. They cannot satisfy their appetites or fill their stomachs with wealth, for it became the stumbling block that brought their iniquity.

Escape will fail the swift, the strong will not prevail by his strength, and the mighty will not save his life. …

Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them on the Day of the LORD’s wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy.” For indeed, He will make a sudden end of all who dwell on the earth.

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape the sentence of hell?

So when you, O man, pass judgment on others, yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God’s judgment?

Whoever does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.

…how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?
