"Therefore thus says YAHWEH, ‘You have not obeyed Me in proclaiming release each man to his brother and each man to his neighbor. Behold, I am proclaiming a release to you,’ declares YAHWEH, ‘to the sword, to the pestilence and to the famine; and I will make you a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth. Jeremiah 34:17
Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink, who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them! Their banquets are accompanied by lyre and harp, by tambourine and flute, and by wine; but they do not pay attention to the deeds of YAHWEH, nor do they consider the work of His hands.

"YAHWEH will smite you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors and with the scab and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

"It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.” So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.

4. WAR AND TERROR
"For My people are foolish, they know Me not; they are stupid children and have no understanding they are shrewd to do evil, but to do good they do not know.” I looked on the earth, and behold, it was formless and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light. I looked on the mountains, and behold, they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and from.
I looked, and behold, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens had fled. I looked, and behold, the fruitful land was a wilderness, and all its cities were pulled down before YAHWEH, before His fierce anger. For thus says YAHWEH, “The whole land shall be a desolation, yet I will not execute a complete destruction.
"For this the earth shall mourn and the heavens above be dark, because I have spoken, I have purposed, and I will not change My mind, nor will I turn from it.” At the sound of the horseman and bowman every city flees; they go into the thickets and climb among the rocks; every city is forsaken, and no man dwells in them. Jeremiah 4:22-29
Be Subject to Government , Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from ELOHIM, and those which exist are established by ELOHIM. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of ELOHIM; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil.
Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same; for it is a minister of ELOHIM to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of ELOHIM, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience’ sake.
For because of this you also pay taxes, for rulers are servants of ELOHIM, devoting themselves to this very thing. Render to all what is due them: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. Judges 6:1
