- the wicked:
- "Washª° you, make you clean;ª° put awayª° the evilª of your doingsª from beforeª¹ mine eyes;ª ceaseª° to do evil;ª° ... Come¹ now,²°¹ and let us reason together,ª° saithª° the LORD:ª though¹ your sinsª be¹ as scarlet,ª they shall be as whiteª° as snow;ª though¹ they be redª° like crimson,ª they shall be¹ as wool.ª" {Isa 1:16-18} + "If my people,ª which¹ are calledª°¹ by my name,ª shall humble²° themselves,¹ and pray,ª° and seekª° my face,ª and turnª° from their wickedª ways;ª¹ then will I¹ hearª° from¹ heaven,ª and will forgiveª° their sin,ª and will healª°¹ their land.ª" {2Ch 7:14} + "He that coverethª° his sinsª shall not¹ prosper:ª° but whoso confessethª° and forsakethª° [them] shall have mercy.ª°" {Prv 28:13} + "Therefore the showersª have been withholden,ª° and there hath been¹ no¹ latter rain;ª and thou hadst a whore'sªª° forehead,ª thou refusedstª° to be ashamed.ª°" {Jer 3:3} + "Moreover thou shalt sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Shall they fall,ª° and not¹ arise?ª° shall he turn away,ª° and not¹ return?ª° ... I hearkenedª° and heard,ª° [but] they spake¹ not¹ aright:²°¹ no¹ manª repentedª° him ofª his wickedness,ª saying,ª° What¹ have I done?ª° every one¹ turnedª° to his course,ª as the horseª rushethª° into the battle.ª" {Jer 8:4-6} + "When I sayª° unto the wicked,ª Thou shalt surely²° die;ª° and thou givest him not warning,ª°¹ nor¹ speakestª° to warnª° the wickedª from his wickedª way,ª¹ to save his life;ª° the same¹ wickedª [man] shall dieª° in his iniquity;ª but his bloodª will I requireª° at thine hand.ª¹ ... Yet if¹ thou¹ warnª° the wicked,ª and he turnª° not¹ from his wickedness,ª¹ nor from his wickedª way,ª¹ he¹ shall dieª° in his iniquity;ª but thou¹ hast deliveredª°¹ thy soul.ª" {Ezk 3:18-19} + "But if¹ the wickedª will turnª° from all¹¹ his sinsª that¹ he hath committed,ª° and keepª°¹ all¹ my statutes,ª and doª° that which is lawfulª and right,ª he shall surely²° live,ª° he shall not¹ die.ª° ... Have I any pleasure²° at allª° that the wickedª should die?ª saithª° the Lordª GOD:ª [and] not¹ that he should returnª° from his ways,ª¹ and live?ª°" {Ezk 18:21-23} + "Again, when the wickedª [man] turneth awayª° from his wickednessª¹ that¹ he hath committed,ª° and doethª° that which is lawfulª and right,ª he¹ shall save²° his soul² alive.ª°¹¹ ... For¹ I have no pleasureª°¹ in the deathª of him that dieth,ª° saithª° the Lordª GOD:ª wherefore turnª° [yourselves], and liveª° ye." {Ezk 18:27-32} + "Sayª° unto¹ them, [As] I¹ live,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD,ª I have no pleasureª°¹ in the deathª of the wicked;ª but¹¹ that the wickedª turnª° from his wayª¹ and live:ª° turnª° ye, turnª° ye from your evilª ways;ª¹ for why¹ will ye die,ª° O houseª of Israel?ª" {Ezk 33:11} + "Again, when I sayª° unto the wicked,ª Thou shalt surely²° die;ª° if he turnª° from his sin,ª¹ and doª° that which is lawfulª and right;ª ... None¹¹ of his sinsª that¹ he hath committedª° shall be mentionedª° unto him: he hath doneª° that which is lawfulª and right;ª he shall surely²° live.ª°" {Ezk 33:14-16} + "O Israel,ª returnª° unto¹ the LORDª thy God;ª for¹ thou hast fallenª° by thine iniquity.ª ... Takeª° with¹ you words,ª and turnª° to¹ the LORD:ª sayª° unto¹ him, Take awayª° all¹ iniquity,ª and receiveª° [us] graciously:²¹ so will we renderª° the calvesª of our lips.ª" {Hsa 14:1-2} + "And Godª sawª°¹ their works,ª that¹ they turnedª° from their evilª way;ª¹ and Godª repentedª° of¹ the evil,ª that¹ he had saidª° that he would doª° unto them; and he didª° [it] not.¹" {Jna 3:10} + "Butª go¹ ye²° and learnª° whatª [that] meaneth,ª° I willª° have mercy,ª andª notª sacrifice:ª forª I am²° notª comeª° to callª° the righteous,ª butª sinnersª toª repentance.ª" {Mtt 9:13} + "Likewise,ª I sayª° unto you,ª there isª° joyª in the presenceª of the¹ angelsª of Godª overª oneª sinnerª that repenteth.ª°" {Lke 15:10} + "Forª thisª myª sonª wasª° dead,ª andª is alive again;ª°² he wasª° lost,ª° andª is found.ª° Andª they beganª° to be merry.ª°" {Lke 15:24} + "Repent¹ ye²° therefore,ª andª be converted,ª° that² yourª sinsª may be blotted out,ª° whenª the timesª of refreshingª shall comeªª° fromª the presenceª of the¹ Lord;ª" {Act 3:19} + "Butª shewedª°°° firstª unto them¹ ofª Damascus,ª andª at Jerusalem,ª andª throughoutª allª the¹ coastsª of Judaea,ª andª [then] to the¹ Gentiles,ª that they should repentª° andª turnª° toª God,ª and doª° worksª meetª for repentance.ª" {Act 26:20} + "ª Know¹ ye²° notª thatª the unrighteousª shall²° notª inheritª° the kingdomª of God?ª Be²° notª deceived:ª° neitherª fornicators,ª norª idolaters,ª norª adulterers,ª norª effeminate,ª norª abusers of themselves with mankind,ª ... Andª suchª wereª° some¹ of you:² butª ye are washed,ª° butª ye are sanctified,ª° butª ye are justifiedª° inª the¹ nameª of the¹ Lordª Jesus,ª andª byª the¹ Spiritª of ourª God.ª" {1Co 6:9-11} + "Draw nighª° to God,ª andª he will draw nighª° to you.ª Cleanseª° [your] hands,ª [ye] sinners;ª andª purifyª° [your] hearts,ª [ye] double minded.ª ...
