CONSEQUENCES

Judges 2:15 Whenever they marched out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the JORD had warned, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were in terrible distress.

Isaiah 42:24 Who gave up Jacob to the looter,

and Israel to the plunderers?

Was it not the LORD, against whom 

we have sinned, in whose ways they would not walk, and whose law they would not obey? So he poured on him the heat of his

Anger and the might of battle

Isaiah 45:7 I form light and create darkness; I make well-being  and create calamity; I am the LORD, who does all these  things.

Amos 3:6 Does disaster come to a city,

unless the LORD has done it?

Romans 9:21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use? Lamentations3:38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?
