If I shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence and plague among My people, and My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek (crave, require as a necessity) My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them]
GOD caused the famine in Egypt and how Joseph ruled.

Yep....
We are well acquainted with YOUR hermeneutic skills. (Don't really own any beyond flat reading on a third grade level)
Hebrew poetry is not American/Western Romanized poetry...it is unique unto itself and trying to ascribe flat reading meaning to it does not work. AND when God speaks to mankind He ALWAYS speaks in poetry. Customarily Hebrew Poetry but not specifically limited to that.

That is a direct quote from 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. It's not Hebrew poetry
"It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do. but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land. The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. genesis 41

Not really...it wasn't created with the capacity for forgiveness....
Which is why it is cursed.
"Cursed is the Earth because of you".
Meaning that one day this planet is going to be destroyed. It doesn't forgive. It may be very good or holy....but doomed because of its lack of capability to forgive.
