- The iniquity:
- "Makeª° a chain:ª for¹ the landª is fullª° of bloodyª crimes,ª and the cityª is fullª° of violence.ª" {Ezk 7:23} + "Now, thou¹ sonª of man,ª wilt thou judge,ª° wilt thou judgeª°¹ the bloodyª city?ª yea, thou shalt shewª° her¹ all¹ her abominations.ª ... In thee have they takenª° giftsª to¹ shedª° blood;ª thou hast takenª° usuryª and increase,ª and thou hast greedily gainedª° of thy neighboursª by extortion,ª and hast forgottenª° me, saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 22:2-12} + "[There is] a conspiracyª of her prophetsª in the midstª thereof, like a roaringª° lionª raveningª° the prey;ª they have devouredª° souls;ª they have takenª° the treasureª and precious things;ª they have made her manyª° widowsª in the midstª thereof. ... Therefore have I poured outª° mine indignationª upon¹ them; I have consumedª° them with the fireª of my wrath:ª their own wayª have I recompensedª° upon their heads,ª saithª° the Lordª GOD.ª" {Ezk 22:25-31} + "For¹ I knowª° that afterª my deathª ye will utterly²° corruptª° [yourselves], and turn asideª° from¹ the wayª which¹ I have commandedª° you; and evilª will befallª° you in the latterª days;ª because¹ ye will doª°¹ evilª in the sightª of the LORD,ª to provoke him to angerª° through the workª of your hands.ª" {Deu 31:29} + "They have corruptedª° themselves, their spotª [is] not¹ [the spot] of his children:ª [they are] a perverseª and crookedª generation.ª" {Deu 32:5} + "But Jeshurunª waxed fat,ª° and kicked:ª° thou art waxen fat,ª° thou art grown thick,ª° thou art coveredª° [with fatness]; then he forsookª° Godª [which] madeª° him, and lightly esteemedª° the Rockª of his salvation.ª ... For¹ a fireª is kindledª° in mine anger,ª and shall burnª° unto¹ the lowestª hell,ª and shall consumeª° the earthª with her increase,ª and set on fireª° the foundations²¹ of the mountains.ª" {Deu 32:15-22} + "For [so] it was,¹ that¹ the childrenª of Israelª had sinnedª° against the LORDª their God,ª which had brought them upª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from under¹¹ the handª of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª and had fearedª° otherª gods,ª ... Until¹¹ the LORDª removedª°¹ Israelª out of¹¹ his sight,ª as¹ he had saidª° byª all¹ his servantsª the prophets.ª So was Israelª carried awayª° out of¹¹ their own landª to Assyriaª unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {2Kg 17:7-23} + "Moreover¹ all¹ the chiefª of the priests,ª and the people,ª transgressed²° very² muchª°¹¹ after all¹ the abominationsª of the heathen;ª and pollutedª°¹ the houseª of the LORDª which¹ he had hallowedª° in Jerusalem.ª ... But they mockedª°¹ the messengersª of God,ª and despisedª° his words,ª and misusedª° his prophets,ª until¹ the wrathª of the LORDª aroseª° against his people,ª till¹ [there was] no¹ remedy.ª" {2Ch 36:14-16} + "Ahª sinfulª° nation,ª a peopleª ladenª with iniquity,ª a seedª of evildoers,ª° childrenª that are corrupters:ª° they have forsakenªª° the LORD,ª they have provokedªª° the Holy Oneª of Israelª unto anger,²° they are gone awayª° backward.ª" {Isa 1:4} + "But¹¹ your iniquitiesª have¹ separatedª° betweenª you and your God,ª and your sinsª have hidª° [his] faceª from¹ you, that he will not hear.ª°¹ ... The wayª of peaceª they knowª° not;¹ and [there is] no¹ judgmentª in their goings:ª they have made them crookedª° paths:ª whosoever¹ goethª° therein shall not¹ knowª° peace.ª" {Isa 59:2-8} + "For¹ our transgressionsª are multipliedª° before¹ thee, and our sinsª testifyª° against us: for¹ our transgressionsª [are] with¹ us; and [as for] our iniquities,ª we knowª° them; ... Yea, truthª faileth;ª°¹ and he [that] departethª° from evilª¹ maketh himself a prey:ª° and the LORDª sawª° [it], and it displeasedª²°¹ him that¹ [there was] no¹ judgment.ª" {Isa 59:12-15} + "Run ye to and froª° through the streetsª of Jerusalem,ª and seeª° now,¹ and know,ª° and seekª° in the broad placesª thereof, if¹ ye can findª° a man,ª if¹ there beª [any] that executethª° judgment,ª that seekethª° the truth;ª and I will pardonª° it. ... Shall I not¹ visitª° for¹ these¹ [things]? saithª° the LORD:ª and¹ shall not¹ my soulª be avengedª° on such¹ a nationª as this?¹" {Jer 5:1-9} + "Behold,¹ ye¹ trustª° in¹ lyingª words,ª that cannot¹ profit.ª° ... Will ye steal,ª° murder,ª° and commit adultery,ª° and swearª° falsely,ª and burn incenseª° unto Baal,ª and walkª° afterª otherª godsª whom¹ ye knowª° not;¹" {Jer 7:8-9} + "Hearª° this,¹ I pray you,¹ ye headsª of the houseª of Jacob,ª and princesª of the houseª of Israel,ª that abhorª° judgment,ª and pervertª° all¹ equity.ª ... Therefore¹ shall Zionª for your sakeª be plowedª° [as] a field,ª and Jerusalemª shall become¹ heaps,ª and the mountainª of the houseª as the high placesª of the forest.ª" {Mic 3:9-12} + "Woeª to her that is filthy²°¹ and polluted,ª° to the oppressingª° city!ª ... Her prophetsª [are] lightª° [and] treacherousª persons:²¹ her priestsª have pollutedª° the sanctuary,ª they have done violenceª° to the law.ª" {Zph 3:1-4}
