Isaiah 62:8-
9 The LORD hath
sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength,
Surely I will no more give thy corn [
to be] meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: ... But they that have gathered it
shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.
Leviticus 26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even
appoint over you terror,
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall
consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart:
and ye shall sow your seed in vain,
for your enemies shall eat it.
Deuteronomy 28:30-
33 Thou shalt
betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt
build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not
gather the grapes thereof. ...
The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and
thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
Judges 6:1-
6 And the children of Israel
did evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD
delivered them into the hand of
Midian seven years. ... And Israel was greatly
impoverished because of the Midianites; and the children of Israel
cried unto the LORD.
Jeremiah 31:4-
5 Again I will
build thee, and thou shalt be built,
O virgin of Israel: thou shalt
again be adorned with thy
tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. ... Thou shalt
yet plant vines upon the
mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall
eat [
them] as common things.
Amos 9:14 And
I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall
build the waste cities, and inhabit [
them]; and they shall
plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
