“ His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step. (niv)

Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. (niv)

You have observed the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their traditions. Therefore I will give you over to ruin and your people to derision; you will bear the scorn of the nations.” (niv)

Ephraim is oppressed, trampled in judgment, intent on pursuing idols. (niv)

After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people,“ It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other. (niv)

When the righteous thrive, the people rejoice; when the wicked rule, the people groan.A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.By justice a king gives a country stability, but those who are greedy for bribes tear it down.Those who flatter their neighbors are spreading nets for their feet.Evildoers are snared by their own sin, but the righteous shout for joy and are glad.The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.Mockers stir up a city, but the wise turn away anger.If a wise person goes to court with a fool, the fool rages and scoffs, and there is no peace.The bloodthirsty hate a person of integrity and seek to kill the upright.Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end.If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. (niv)

who freely strut about when what is vile is honored by the human race. (niv)

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked,“ Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?” (niv)

But the people did not listen. Manasseh led them astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites. (niv)

So in my anger I gave you a king, and in my wrath I took him away. (niv)

He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God.Don’t you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things?And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time.For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way.And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming.The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie,and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie (niv)

Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good. (niv)
