If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land: But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it (Isaiah 1:19 – 20).

Woe unto you that rebel against the Almighty God: you shall be devoured by the sword; for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it. I will hide my eyes from you. When you make many prayers I will not hear: your hands are full of blood ( see Isaiah 1). Come before God with clean hands. And lift up not your evil hands before him; for vain is the prayers of the evil and the wicked (see Psalms 66:17 – 20). Hold fast to the truth and repent of your sins. And burden not the LORD with your evil and wickedness. Hear the voice of God. And let God rejoice in thee. Rejoice in the LORD and lift up his name in praise, O you righteous. Declare the works of his hands, you that delight in the LORD. Testify to the goodness of God: let the whole earth hear your cry. Come forth and encourage hope to the hopeless. Lift up your voices against corruption and against evil. Flee from them that shed innocent blood, and delight to do evil. Come repenting, O you sinner, you corrupt and evil man. Come with a remorse heart, and a contrite spirit. Come and lift up righteousness to the ends of the earth. Call upon the LORD with clean hands, then shall he hear you and answer you. Behold, I tell you the truth. Pray not with unclean hands, and unpure hearts, lest you be disappointed in the sight of God. Be quick to repent from your sins, and cease from justifying it. Acknowledge all your faults before God, and rejoice not, lest you be forgiven; for who shall delight in the wrath of God? Or his judgement when his anger is stirred up? But unto God, beg for mercy. Beg for lovingkindness. And let his pity come quickly and save you. God is righteous and holy. How can you expect him to draw near to you when you are unrighteous and unholy? Let us all seek righteousness in Christ Jesus. And let holiness cleave unto us. The joy of the LORD is a great delight: who shall desire it more than silver and gold, and the pleasures of this world? For many walk without the understanding and the knowledge of what touch the heart of God. Only with clean hands can you please God. And again I say unto you, be quick to repent and turn from your evil ways, then God will answer you when you call upon his name. Lift up the LORD in praise. Magnify his name in the heavens and in the earth. Let the people come forth singing. Let them come forth rejoicing; for the goodness of God has taken hold of me. And the glory of God is upon me. Let them lift up righteousness. Let holiness be their rock. Turn to God, your Saviour, and rejoice in his goodness and mercy. Remember the LORD. Treat him not like a cast away item or a forgotten item. But understand that he is the LORD God Almighty, by whom all things come forth. And if not for God, all that is in the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all therein, shall not be. We cannot understand the magnitude of his greatness. And no one can search it out. To thee, O LORD, I lift up praises; for thou art Great and Mighty and Terrible. Thou art esteemed above the heavens. And above all things thou glory. There is no measure to thy glory, nor shall a man shew a measure of thy power; for all the power and the glory is yours. Let the people call upon the name of the LORD: let them come forth rejoicing in their God. Let them lift up his name to the ends of the earth. O hear me, you that seek righteousness and the glory of God; for I am a servant of God, called not by man, but by the living God.
