Forsaking God, Forgetting God Too Busy *
Leviticus 26:14-39 But if ye will not hearken unto Me, 
and will not do all these commandments;

And if ye shall despise My commandments, or if your soul 
abhor my judgments, so that they will not do all My 
commandments, but that ye break My covenant.

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.

And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be 
slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall 
reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth 
you.

And if ye wil not yet for all this hearken unto Me,
then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will 
make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass;

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land 
shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees 
of the land yield their fruits.

And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken 
unto Me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon 
you according to your sins.

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob 
you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make 
you few in number, and your high ways shall be desolate.

And if ye will not be reformed by Me by these things,  
but will walk contrary to me;

Then I will also walk contrary unto you, and will punish 
you yet seven times for your sins,

And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the  
quarrel of My covenant: and when ye are gathtered 
together within your cities, I will send the pestilence 
among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of 
the enemy.

And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women 
shall bake your bread in one oven,and they shall deliver 
you your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not 
be satisfied.

And if ye shall not not for all this hearken unto me, but 
walk contrary unto Me;

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, 
even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh 
of your daughters shall ye eat.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your 
images, and cast your carcases upn the carcases of your 
idols, and My soul shall abhor you.

And I will make your cities waste,and bring your 
sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell 
the savour of your sweet odours.

Numbers 14:43 For the Amelekites and the Canaanites are 
there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: 
because ye are turned away from God, therefore the 
Lord will not be with you.
 
Deuteronomy 4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy 
soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine 
eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all 
the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy 
sons’ sons;

Deuteronomy 4:23,24 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye 
forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made 
with you,and make you a graven image, or the likeness 
of anything, which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.

For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous 
God.
 
Deuteronomy 8:10,11,12 When thou art eaten and art full, 
then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good 
land which He hath given thee.

Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, in not 
keeping His commandments and His judgments and His 
statutes, which I command thee this day:

Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built 
goodly houses,and dwelt therin;

Deuteronomy 8:13,14 And when thy herds and thy flocks 
multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiiplied, 
and all that thou hast is multiplied;

Then thine heart is lifted up, and thou forget the Lord 
thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of 
Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Deuteronomy 8:17,18,19 And thou say in thine heart, My 
power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this 
wealth,

But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God for it is He 
that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may 
establish the covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, 
as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 9:20 And it shall be, if thou do at all 
forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, 
and serve them, I testify against you this day that 
ye shall surely perish,

Deuteronomy 10:12,13 And now, Isarael, what doth the 
Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord 
thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, 
and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart 
and with all thy soul,

To keep the commandments of the Lord, and His statutes, 
which I command thee this day for thy good?

Deuteronomy 11:25,26,27,28 There shall no man be able 
to stand before you: for the Lord your God shall lay 
the fear of you and the dread of you upon the land 
that ye shall tread upon, as He hath said unto you.

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a 
curse;

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord 
your God, which I command you this day;

And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of 
the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which 
I command you this day, to go after other gods, which 
ye have not known.

Deuteronomy 12:28 Observe and hear all these words which 
I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with 
thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that 
which is good and right in the sight of the Lord thy God.

Deuteronomy 13:17,18 And there shall nought of the cursed 
thing to thine hand: that the Lord may turn from the 
fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have 
compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn 
]unto thy fathers;

When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, 
to keep all His commandments which I command thee this 
day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the Lord 
thy God. 

Deuteronomy 15:5,6 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all these 
commandments which I command thee this day.

For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: 
and thou shalt lend to many nations, but thou shalt not 
borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they 
shall not riegn over thee.

Deuteronomy 28:15  But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt 
not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe 
to do all His commandments and his statutes which I command 
thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, 
and overtake thee.

Deuteronomy 17:18,19,20 And it shall be when he sitteth 
upon the throne of His kingdom, that he shall write him 
a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before 
the priests the Levites:

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all 
the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the Lord 
his God, to keep all the words of this law (Torah) and 
these statutes, to do them;

That his heart be not lifted above his brethren, and that 
he turn not aside from the commandment, to the rght hand 
or to the left: to the end that he may prolong his days 
in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of 
Israel.

Deuteronomy 19:9,10 If thou shalt keep all these 
commandments to do them, which I command thee this 
day, to love the Lord thy God, and to walk ever in 
His ways; then shalt thou add three more cities more 
for thee, besides these three:

That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the 
Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and so 
blood be upon thee.

Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come 
upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, 
till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkendst not 
unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep His 
commandments and His statutes which He conmmanded thee: 

Deuteronomy 29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore 
hath the Lord done this unto this land? what meaneth the 
heat of this great anger?

Deuteronomy 29:25,26,27,28 Then men shall say, Because 
they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their 
fathers, which He made with them when He brought them 
forth out of the land of Egypt;
 
For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, 
gods whom they knew not, and whom He had not given unto 
them:
 
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to 
bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
 
Deuteronomy 31:16,17,18 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, 
thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise 
up and go a-whoring after the gods of the strangers of the 
land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me 
and break my covenant which I have made with them.

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and 
I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from from them, 
and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall 
befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these 
evils come upon us, because our God is not among us.

And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils
which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto
other gods.

Deuteronomy 32:15,16,17 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: 
thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered 
with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and 
lightly esteemed the Rock of his Salvation.

Then they provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with 
abominations provoked they him to anger.

They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they 
knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers 
feared not.
 
Deuteronomy 32:18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art 
unmindful, and hast forgotten the Lord that formed thee.
 
Joshua 24:20 If ye forsake the Lord, and serve strange 
gods, then He will turn and do you hurt, and consume 
you, after that he hath done you good.
 
Judges 2:11,12 And the children of Israel did evil in 
the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim:
 
And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which 
brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed 
other gods, of the gods of the people that were round 
about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and 
provoked the Lord to anger.
 
Judges 2:13 And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal 
and Ashtaroth.
 
Judges 2:14,15 And the anger of the Lord was hot against 
Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of spoilers 
that spoiled them, and He sold them into the hands of 
their enemies round about, so that they could not any 
longer stand before their enemies.
 
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was 
against them for evil, as the Lord had said, and as the 
Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly 
distressed.
 
Judges 8:34 And the children of Israel remembered not 
the Lord their God, Who had delivered them out of the 
hands of all their enemies on every side;
 
II Kings 22:17 Because they have forsaken me, and have 
burned incense unto other gods, that they might provoke 
me to anger with all the works of their hands; therefore 
my wrath shall be kindled against this place, and shall 
not be quenched.

II Chronicles 7:17,18,19 And as for thee, if thou wilt 
walk before Me, as David thy father walked, and do
according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt
observe My statutes and My judgments;

Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according
as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There 
shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.

But if ye turn away, and forsake My statutes and My
commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go
and serve other gods, and worship them;

II Chronicles 7:20,21,22 Then will I pluck them up by 
the roots out of My land which I have given them; and
this house, which I have sanctified for My name, will I
cast out of My sight, and will make it to be a proverb 
and a byword among all nations.

And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment
to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say,
Why hath the Lord done thus unto this land, and unto
this house?

And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the Lord
God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of 
the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and
worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath He 
brought all this evil upon them.

II Chronicles 12:1,2,3, 4 And it came to pass, when 
Rehoboam had established the kingdom,and had strengthened 
himself, he forsook the law (Torah) of the  Lord, and 
all Israel with him.

And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam 
Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because 
they had transgressed against the Lord, With twelve hundred 
chariots, and three score thousand horsemen: and the people 
were without number that came with him out of Egypt, the 
Lubims, the Sukkims, and the Ethiopians.

And he took the fenced cities which pertained to Judah, and 
came to Jerusalem.
 
II Chronicles 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto 
him, hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; the Lord is 
with you, while ye be with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will 
be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.
 
II Chronicles 24:20 And the spirit of God came upon Zechariah 
the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, 
and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the 
commandments of the Lord, that ye cannot prosper? because ye 
have forsaken the Lord, He hath also forsaken you.

Ezra 8:22 For I was ashamed to require of the kings a band of 
soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: 
because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of the 
Lord is upon all them for good that seek Him; but His power and 
His wrath is against all them that forsake Him.

Job 8:11,12,13 Can the rush grown up without mire? can the flag 
grow without water?

Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth 
before any other herb.

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope 
shall perish.

Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all nations 
that forget God.
 
Psalm 10:4,11 The wicked, through pride of his countenance, will 
not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: He hideth his face; 
He will never see it.

Psalm 50:22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you 
in pieces, and there be none to deliver.
 
Psalm 78:6,7 That the generation to come might know them, even the 
children which should be born; who should arise and declare them 
to their children:
 
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the 
works of God, but keep His commandments:

Isaiah 1:4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, 
a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they 
have provoked the Holy One of Israel to anger, they are 
gone away backward. 
 
Isaiah 1:28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of 
the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the 
Lord shall be consumed.

Jeremiah 2:5,6 Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your 
fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and 
have walked after vanity, and are become vain?
 
Neither said they, Where is the Lord that brought us up 
out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, 
through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of 
drought, and of a shadow of death, through a land that no 
one passed through, and where no man dwelt?

Jeremiah 2:13 For My people have committed two evils; 
they have forsaken Me, the  fountain of living waters, 
and hewed them out cisterns, that can hold no water.
 
Jeremiah 2:19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, 
and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore 
and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou 
hast forsaken the Lord thy God, and that My fear is not 
in thee, saith the Lord God of Hosts.

Jeremiah 5:19 And it shall come to pass, when ye shall 
say, Wherefore doeth the Lord your God all these things 
unto us; then shalt thou answer them, Like as ye have 
forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so 
shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not your’s.
 
Jeremiah 5:23,24,25 But this people hath a revolting and 
a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
 
Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord 
our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, 
in His season: He reserveth unto us the appointed weeks 
of the harvest.
 
Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your
sins have withholden good things from you.
 
Jeremiah 15:6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the Lord, thou 
art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand 
against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.

Jeremiah 17:5,6,7 Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that 
trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart 
departeth from the Lord. 
 
Jeremiah 17:13 O Lord, the Hope of Israel, all that forsake 
Thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from Me shall 
be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, 
the Fountain of Living Waters.

Jeremiah 18:14,15,16 Because my people hath forgotten Me, they 
have urned incense to vnity,and they have caused them to stumble 
in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way 
not cast up;

To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one 
that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will 
shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.

Jeremiah 19:3,4 And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O 
kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith 
the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I wil bring 
evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his 
ears shall tingle.
 
Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, 
and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither 
they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, 
and have filled this place with the blood of innocents; 

Lamentations 3:38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45 Out of the mouth of 
The Most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment 
of his sins?

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the Lord.

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

We have transgressed and have rebelled: Thou hast not pardoned.

Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: Thou hast slain, 
Thou hast not pitied.

Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should  
not pass through,

Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of 
the people:
