Question 151

Jeremiah 2:8

^2:8 The priests said not, Where is the Lord? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

^2:8 The priests did not ask, 'Where is the LORD?' The experts in the law no longer knew Me, and the leaders rebelled against Me. The prophets prophesied by Baal and followed useless idols.

Job 32:7; Job 32:9

^32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. ^32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

^32:7 I thought that age should speak, and many years should teach wisdom. ^32:9 It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.

Ecclesiastes 4:13

^4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.

^4:13 Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer knows how to take a warning.

1 Kings 11:4; 1 Kings 11:9

^11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. ^11:9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the Lord God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice,

^11:4 For when Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and he was not wholeheartedly devoted to the LORD his God, as his father David had been. ^11:9 Now the LORD grew angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice.

2 Samuel 12:14

^12:14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

^12:14 Nevertheless, because by this deed you have shown utter contempt for the word of the LORD, the son born to you will surely die."

1 Corinthians 5:1

^5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.

^5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is intolerable even among pagans: A man has his father's wife.

James 4:17

^4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

^4:17 Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

Luke 12:47–48

^12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. ^12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

^12:47 That servant who knows his master's will but does not get ready or follow his instructions will be beaten with many blows. ^12:48 But the one who unknowingly does things worthy of punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and from him who has been entrusted with much, even more will be demanded.

Jeremiah 5:4–5

^5:4 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God. ^5:5 I will get me unto the great men, and will speak unto them; for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God: but these have altogether broken the yoke, and burst the bonds.

^5:4 Then I said, "They are only the poor; they have played the fool, for they do not know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God. ^5:5 I will go to the powerful and speak to them. Surely they know the way of the LORD, the justice of their God." But they too, with one accord, had broken the yoke and torn off the chains.

2 Samuel 12:7–9

^12:7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; ^12:8 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. ^12:9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.

^12:7 Then Nathan said to David, "You are that man! This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul. ^12:8 I gave your master's house to you and your master's wives into your arms. I gave you the house of Israel and Judah, and if that was not enough, I would have given you even more. ^12:9 Why then have you despised the command of the LORD by doing evil in His sight? You put Uriah the Hittite to the sword and took his wife as your own, for you have slain him with the sword of the Ammonites.

Ezekiel 8:11–12

^8:11 And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up. ^8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The Lord seeth us not; the Lord hath forsaken the earth.

^8:11 Before them stood seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing among them. Each had a censer in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense was rising. ^8:12 "Son of man," He said to me, "do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each at the shrine of his own idol? For they are saying, 'The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

Romans 2:17–24

^2:17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, ^2:18 And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; ^2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, ^2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. ^2:21 Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? ^2:22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? ^2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? ^2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

^2:17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and boast in God; ^2:18 if you know His will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; ^2:19 if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, ^2:20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth- ^2:21 you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? ^2:22 You who forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? ^2:23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? ^2:24 As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you."

Galatians 2:11–14

^2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. ^2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. ^2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. ^2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

^2:11 When Cephas came to Antioch, however, I opposed him to his face, because he stood to be condemned. ^2:12 For before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself, for fear of those in the circumcision group. ^2:13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray. ^2:14 When I saw that they were not walking in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of them all, "If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?"

Matthew 21:38–39

^21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. ^21:39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

^21:38 But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, 'This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.' ^21:39 So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

1 Samuel 2:25

^2:25 If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him: but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them.

^2:25 If a man sins against another man, God can intercede for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to their father, since the LORD intended to put them to death.

Acts 5:4

^5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

^5:4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!"

Psalm 51:4

^51:4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

^51:4 Against You, You only, have I sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You may be proved right when You speak and blameless when You judge.

Romans 2:4

^2:4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

^2:4 Or do you disregard the riches of His kindness, tolerance, and patience, not realizing that God's kindness leads you to repentance?

Malachi 1:8; Malachi 1:14

^1:8 And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the Lord of hosts. ^1:14 But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the Lord of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen.

^1:8 When you offer blind animals for sacrifice, is it not wrong? And when you present the lame and sick ones, is it not wrong? Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you or show you favor?" asks the LORD of Hosts. ^1:14 "But cursed is the deceiver who has an acceptable male in his flock and vows to give it, but sacrifices a defective animal to the Lord. For I am a great King," says the LORD of Hosts, "and My name is to be feared among the nations.

Hebrews 2:2–3

^2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; ^2:3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;

^2:2 For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment, ^2:3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

Hebrews 12:25

^12:25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

^12:25 See to it that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if the people did not escape when they refused Him who warned them on earth, how much less will we escape if we reject Him who warns us from heaven?

Hebrews 10:29

^10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

^10:29 How much more severely do you think one deserves to be punished who has trampled on the Son of God, profaned the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

Matthew 12:31–32

^12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. ^12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

^12:31 Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. ^12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.

Ephesians 4:30

^4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

^4:30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Hebrews 6:4–6

^6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, ^6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, ^6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

^6:4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, ^6:5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age- ^6:6 and then have fallen away-to be restored to repentance, because they themselves are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to open shame.

Jude 1:8

^1:8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.

^1:8 Yet in the same way these dreamers defile their bodies, reject authority, and slander glorious beings.

Numbers 12:8–9

^12:8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the Lord shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? ^12:9 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against them; and he departed.

^12:8 I speak with him face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you unafraid to speak against My servant Moses?" ^12:9 So the anger of the LORD burned against them, and He departed.

Isaiah 3:5

^3:5 And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

^3:5 The people will oppress one another, man against man, neighbor against neighbor; the young will rise up against the old, and the base against the honorable.

Proverbs 30:17

^30:17 The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

^30:17 As for the eye that mocks a father and scorns obedience to a mother, may the ravens of the valley pluck it out and young vultures devour it.

2 Corinthians 12:15

^12:15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.

^12:15 And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?

Psalm 55:12–15

^55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: ^55:13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. ^55:14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. ^55:15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

^55:12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide. ^55:13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend. ^55:14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God. ^55:15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes.

Zephaniah 2:8; Zephaniah 2:10–11

^2:8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border. ^2:10 This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people of the Lord of hosts. ^2:11 The Lord will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.

^2:8 "I have heard the reproach of Moab and the insults of the Ammonites, who have taunted My people and threatened their borders. ^2:10 This they shall have in return for their pride, for taunting and mocking the people of the LORD of Hosts. ^2:11 The LORD will be terrifying to them when He starves all the gods of the earth. Then the nations of every shore will bow in worship to Him, each in its own place.

Matthew 18:6

1 Corinthians 8:11–12

^8:11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? ^8:12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.

^8:11 So this weak brother, for whom Christ died, is destroyed by your knowledge. ^8:12 By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Romans 14:13; Romans 14:15; Romans 14:21

^14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. ^14:15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. ^14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

^14:13 Therefore let us stop judging one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. ^14:15 If your brother is distressed by what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother, for whom Christ died. ^14:21 It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything to cause your brother to stumble.

Ezekiel 13:19

^13:19 And will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear your lies?

^2:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: ^2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.

^2:15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and drove us out as well. They are displeasing to God and hostile to all men, ^2:16 hindering us from telling the Gentiles how they may be saved. As a result, they continue to heap up their sins to full capacity; the utmost wrath has come upon them.

Joshua 22:20

^22:20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

Proverbs 6:30–33

^6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; ^6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. ^6:32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. ^6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

Ezra 9:10–12

^9:10 And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, ^9:11 Which thou hast commanded by thy servants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to another with their uncleanness. ^9:12 Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever.

^9:10 And now, our God, what can we say after this? For we have forsaken the commandments ^9:11 that You gave through Your servants the prophets, saying: 'The land that you are entering to possess is a land polluted by the impurity of its peoples and the abominations with which they have filled it from end to end. ^9:12 Now, therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons.

Proverbs 5:8–12

^5:8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: ^5:9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: ^5:10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger; ^5:11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, ^5:12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;

^5:8 Keep your path far from her; do not go near the door of her house, ^5:9 lest you concede your vigor to others, and your years to one who is cruel; ^5:10 lest strangers feast on your wealth, and your labors enrich the house of a foreigner. ^5:11 At the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and your body are spent, ^5:12 and you will say, "How I hated discipline, and my heart despised reproof!

^22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. ^22:28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; ^22:29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

^22:22 If a man is found lying with another man's wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die.

He must not divorce her as long as he lives.

Proverbs 6:32–35

^6:32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. ^6:33 A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. ^6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance. ^6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

^6:32 He who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself. ^6:33 Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away. ^6:34 For jealousy enrages a husband, and he will show no mercy in the day of vengeance. ^6:35 He will not be appeased by any ransom, or persuaded by lavish gifts.

^11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ^11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. ^11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. ^11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

^11:21 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. ^11:22 But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. ^11:23 And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted up to heaven? No, you will be brought down to Hades! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. ^11:24 But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you."

Amos 4:8–11

^4:8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. ^4:9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. ^4:10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord. ^4:11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.

^4:8 People staggered from city to city for water to drink, but they were not satisfied; yet you did not return to Me," declares the LORD. ^4:9 "I struck you with blight and mildew in your growing gardens and vineyards; the locust devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you did not return to Me," declares the LORD. ^4:10 "I sent plagues among you like those of Egypt; I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you did not return to Me," declares the LORD. ^4:11 "Some of you I overthrew as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand snatched from a blaze, yet you did not return to Me," declares the LORD.

Romans 1:26–27

^1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: ^1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

^1:26 For this reason God gave them over to dishonorable passions. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. ^1:27 Likewise, the men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

Romans 1:32

^1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Proverbs 23:35

^23:35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

^78:34 When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God. ^78:35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer. ^78:36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues. ^78:37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.

^42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act upon every word that the LORD your God sends you to tell us. ^42:6 Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us, for we will obey the voice of the LORD our God!" ^42:20 For you have deceived yourselves by sending me to the LORD your God, saying, 'Pray to the LORD our God on our behalf, and as for all that the LORD our God says, tell it to us and we will do it.' ^42:21 For I have told you today, but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God in all He has sent me to tell you.

Ecclesiastes 5:4–6

^5:4 When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. ^5:5 Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. ^5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

^5:4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it, because He takes no pleasure in fools. Fulfill your vow. ^5:5 It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. ^5:6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, and do not tell the messenger that your vow was a mistake. Why should God be angry with your words and destroy the work of your hands?

^17:18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Seeing that he gave his hand in pledge yet did all these things, he will not escape!' ^17:19 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: 'As surely as I live, I will bring down upon his head My oath that he despised and My covenant that he broke.

^7:11 But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder; they stopped up their ears from hearing. ^7:12 They made their hearts like flint and would not listen to the law or to the words that the LORD of Hosts had sent by His Spirit through the earlier prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of Hosts.

^34:8 After King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim liberty, the word came to Jeremiah from the LORD ^34:9 that each man should free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female, and no one should hold his fellow Jew in bondage. ^34:10 So all the officials and all the people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their menservants and maidservants and no longer hold them in bondage. They obeyed and released them, ^34:11 but later they changed their minds and took back the menservants and maidservants they had freed, and they forced them to become slaves again.

2 Peter 2:20–22

^2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. ^2:21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ^2:22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.

^2:20 If indeed they have escaped the corruption of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, only to be entangled and overcome by it again, their final condition is worse than it was at first. ^2:21 It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than to have known it and then to turn away from the holy commandment passed on to them. ^2:22 Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

^23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them. ^23:38 Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths. ^23:39 For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

^23:37 For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols.

Yes, they did this inside My house.

^58:3 "Why have we fasted, and You have not seen? Why have we humbled ourselves, and You have not noticed?" "Behold, on the day of your fast, you do as you please, and you oppress all your workers. ^58:4 You fast with contention and strife to strike viciously with your fist. You cannot fast as you do today and have your voice be heard on high. ^58:5 Is this the fast I have chosen: a day for a man to deny himself, to bow his head like a reed, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes? Will you call this a fast and a day acceptable to the LORD?

Jeremiah 7:8–10

^7:8 Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. ^7:9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; ^7:10 And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations?

^7:8 But look, you keep trusting in deceptive words to no avail. ^7:9 Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal, and follow other gods that you have not known, ^7:10 and then come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, 'We are delivered, so we can continue with all these abominations'?

^9:13 After all that has come upon us because of our evil deeds and our great guilt (though You, our God, have punished us less than our iniquities deserve and have given us such a remnant as this), ^9:14 shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not become so angry with us as to wipe us out, leaving no remnant or survivor?

1 Samuel 2:22–24

^2:22 Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his sons did unto all Israel; and how they lay with the women that assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. ^2:23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this people. ^2:24 Nay, my sons; for it is no good report that I hear: ye make the Lord’s people to transgress.

^2:22 Now Eli was very old, and he heard about everything his sons were doing to all Israel and how they were sleeping with the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. ^2:23 "Why are you doing these things?" Eli said to his sons. "I hear about your wicked deeds from all these people. ^2:24 No, my sons; it is not a good report I hear circulating among the LORD's people.
