Genesis 27:30-41
As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting.He also prepared delicious food and brought it to his father. And he said to his father,“ Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that you may bless me.”His father Isaac said to him,“ Who are you?” He answered,“ I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”Then Isaac trembled very violently and said,“ Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me, and I ate it all before you came, and I have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.”As soon as Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry and said to his father,“ Bless me, even me also, O my father!”But he said,“ Your brother came deceitfully, and he has taken away your blessing.”Esau said,“ Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing.” Then he said,“ Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”Isaac answered and said to Esau,“ Behold, I have made him lord over you, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and with grain and wine I have sustained him. What then can I do for you, my son?”Esau said to his father,“ Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father.” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:“ Behold, away from the fatness of the earth shall your dwelling be, and away from the dew of heaven on high.By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; but when you grow restless you shall break his yoke from your neck.”Now Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said to himself,“ The days of mourning for my father are approaching; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

Luke 13:24-27
“ Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying,‘ Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you,‘ I do not know where you come from.’Then you will begin to say,‘ We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’But he will say,‘ I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’

Jeremiah 6:30
Rejected silver they are called, for the Lord has rejected them.”

Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit,and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.

Proverbs 1:24-31
Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded,because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof,I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you,when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you.Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me.Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the Lord,would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof,therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices.

Hebrews 10:26-29
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
