Enemies Destroy Themselves
20 They rose early in the morning and went out to the wilderness of Tekoa; and when they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: (A)Put your trust in the Lord your God and you will endure. Put your trust in His prophets, and succeed.”

Isaiah 5:24
New American Standard Bible
24 Therefore, (A)as a tongue of fire consumes stubble,
And dry grass collapses in the flame,
So their (B)root will become (C)like rot, and their blossom [a]blow away like dust;
For they have (D)rejected the Law of the Lord of armies,
And discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 8:6-8
New American Standard Bible
6 “Inasmuch as these people have (A)rejected the gently flowing waters of Shiloah
And rejoice in (B)Rezin and the son of Remaliah;
7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord is about to bring on them the (C)strong and abundant waters of the (D)Euphrates River,
That is, the (E)king of Assyria and all his glory;
And it will (F)rise over all its channels and go over all its banks.
8 Then (G)it will sweep on into Judah, it will overflow and pass through,
It will (H)reach as far as the neck;
And the spread of its wings will [a]fill the expanse of [b]your land, (I)Immanuel.

Isaiah 30:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says:
“(A)Since you have rejected this word
And have put your trust in (B)oppression and crookedness, and have relied on them,
13 Therefore this (C)wrongdoing will be to you
Like a (D)breach about to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose collapse comes (E)suddenly in an instant,
14 Whose collapse is like the smashing of a (F)potter’s jar,
[a]So ruthlessly shattered
That a shard will not be found among its pieces
To [b]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
