- 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 it shall come to pass,¹ when¹ ye shall say,ª° Whereforeªª doethª° the LORDª our Godª¹ all¹ these¹ [things] unto us? then shalt thou answerª°¹ them, Like¹ as ye have forsakenª° me, and servedª° strangeª godsª in your land,ª so¹ shall ye serveª° strangersª° in a landª [that is] not¹ yours." {Jer 5:19} + "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 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 ... Then men shall say,ª° Because¹¹ they have forsakenª°¹ the covenantª of the LORDª Godª of their fathers,ª which¹ he madeª° with¹ them when he brought them forthª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt:ª" {Deu 29:24-25} + "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 Ephraimª said,ª° Yet¹ I am become rich,ª° I have found me outª° substance:ª [in] all¹ my laboursª they shall findª° none¹ iniquityª in me that¹ [were] sin.ª" {Hsa 12:8}
