Families

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.

God settles the lonely in families; He leads the prisoners out to prosperity, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

But He lifts the needy from affliction and increases their families like flocks.

Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel.

Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.

…behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.

“At that time,” declares the LORD, “I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be My people.”

“Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.

“Only you have I known from all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.”

And should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of Hosts, then the rain will not fall on them.

And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
