2 Chronicles 28:22

³O LORD, don’t your eyes look on truth? You have stricken them, but they were not grieved. You have consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock. They have refused to return.

¹³“For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord GOD.

⁵Why should you be beaten more, that you revolt more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint.

¹⁵I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”

⁷“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

⁹People were scorched with great heat, and people blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues. They didn’t repent and give him glory.

¹⁰The fifth poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was darkened. They gnawed their tongues because of the pain, ¹¹and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores. They still didn’t repent of their works.

¹²When he was in distress, he begged the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

⁶Esther said, “An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman!” Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

¹⁵Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”
