“The sluggard says, “There is a lion in the road! There is a lion in the streets!” As a door turns on its hinges, so does a sluggard on his bed.”

- ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭26‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“Then Jeremiah said to them all, including the women, “Listen to this message from the Lord, all you citizens of Judah who live in Egypt. This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘You and your wives have said, “We will keep our promises to burn incense and pour out liquid offerings to the Queen of Heaven,” and you have proved by your actions that you meant it. So go ahead and carry out your promises and vows to her!’ “But listen to this message from the Lord, all you Judeans now living in Egypt: ‘I have sworn by my great name,’ says the Lord, ‘that my name will no longer be spoken by any of the Judeans in the land of Egypt. None of you may invoke my name or use this oath: “As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives.” For I will watch over you to bring you disaster and not good. Everyone from Judah who is now living in Egypt will suffer war and famine until all of you are dead. Only a small number will escape death and return to Judah from Egypt. Then all those who came to Egypt will find out whose words are true—mine or theirs!”

‭‭- Jeremiah‬ ‭44‬:‭24‬-‭28‬ ‭NLT‬

“Look, the days are coming,” Yahweh declares, “when I will repopulate the land of Israel and Judah with both people and livestock. I have watched over them to uproot, to knock down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring calamity, so now, I will carefully watch over them as they start over again and rebuild. And I will help them grow,” declares Yahweh. “In those days, people will no longer quote the proverb: ‘Children must pay the consequences of their fathers’ sins.’ “Rather, everyone who eats sour grapes will have a stomachache. Each one will be responsible for their own sins.”

- Jeremiah‬ ‭31‬:‭27‬-‭30‬ ‭TPT‬‬
