The Wrath 'O' God Old Testament Style



Hosea 9:14

Give them, O Lord
    what will you give?
Give them a miscarrying womb
    and dry breasts.

Hosea 13:16

Samaria shall bear her guilt,
    because she has rebelled against her God;
they shall fall by the sword,
    their little ones shall be dashed in pieces,
    and their pregnant women ripped open.



Isaiah 7:20


 On that day the Lord will shave with a razor hired beyond the River—with the king of Assyria—the head and the hair of the feet, and it will take off the beard as well.

Isaiah 10:5

Ah, Assyria, the rod of my anger—
    the club in their hands is my fury!



2 Kings 8:12


Hazael asked, “Why does my lord weep?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the people of Israel; you will set their fortresses on fire, you will kill their young men with the sword, dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their pregnant women.”

2 Kings 15:16

At that time Menahem sacked Tiphsah, all who were in it and its territory from Tirzah on; because they did not open it to him, he sacked it. He ripped open all the pregnant women in it.



Wow!  The old testament wrath 'o' God was something else!  Apparently, even pregnant women and their unborn children weren't off the table!
