- Wherefore:
- "Yet thou sayest,ª° Because¹ I am innocent,ª° surely¹ his angerª shall turnª° from¹ me. Behold,¹ I will plead²° with¹ thee, because¹ thou sayest,ª° I have not¹ sinned.ª°" {Jer 2:35} + "And if¹ thou sayª° in thine heart,ª Wherefore¹ comeª° these things¹ upon me? For the greatnessª of thine iniquityª are thy skirtsª discovered,ª° [and] thy heelsª made bare.ª°" {Jer 13:22} + "And it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ thou shalt shewª° this¹ peopleª¹ all¹ these¹ words,ª and they shall sayª° unto¹ thee, Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª pronouncedª°¹ all¹ this¹ greatª evilª against¹ us? or what¹ [is] our iniquity?ª or what¹ [is] our sinª that¹ we have committedª° against the LORDª our God?ª" {Jer 16:10} + "And manyª nationsª shall passª° by¹ this¹ city,ª and they shall sayª° every manª to¹ his neighbour,ª Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ greatª city?ª ... Then they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª their God,ª and worshippedª° otherª gods,ª and servedª° them." {Jer 22:8-9} + "Even all¹ nationsª shall say,ª° Wherefore¹¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land?ª what¹ [meaneth] the heatª of this¹ greatª anger?ª ... And the LORDª rooted²° them out¹ of¹¹ their landª in anger,ª and in wrath,ª and in greatª indignation,ª and castª° them into¹ anotherª land,ª as [it is] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 29:24-28} + "And at this¹ house,ª [which] is¹ high,ª every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it shall be astonished,ª° and shall hiss;ª° and they shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and to this¹ house?ª ... And they shall answer,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª their God,ª who¹ brought forthª°¹ their fathersª out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and have taken holdª° upon otherª gods,ª and have worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath the LORDª broughtª° upon¹ them¹ all¹ this¹ evil.ª" {1Kg 9:8-9} + "And this¹ house,ª which¹ is¹ high,ª shall be an astonishmentª° to every one¹ that passethª° by¹ it; so that he shall say,ª° Why¹ hath the LORDª doneª° thus¹ unto this¹ land,ª and unto this¹ house?ª ... And it shall be answered,ª° Because¹¹ they forsookª°¹ the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ brought them forthª° out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª and laid holdª° on otherª gods,ª and worshippedª° them, and servedª° them: therefore¹¹ hath he broughtª°¹ all¹ this¹ evilª upon¹ them." {2Ch 7:21-22}
