Providence In The Old Testament
Genesis 22:8; 13-14 (New International Version)
8 Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together...13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."

Esther 4:14 (New King James Version)

in whose hand is the club of my wrath!

I dispatch him against a people who anger me,
to seize loot and snatch plunder,
and to trample them down like mud in the streets.

this is not what he has in mind;
his purpose is to destroy,
to put an end to many nations.
Jeremiah 25:8-11 (New International Version)

I will completely destroy them and make them an object of horror and scorn, and an everlasting ruin. 10 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. 11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
