- swearing:
- "The earthª also is defiledª° under¹ the inhabitantsª° thereof; because¹ they have transgressedª° the laws,ª changedª° the ordinance,ª brokenª° the everlastingª covenant.ª" {Isa 24:5} + "Hearª° ye this,¹ O houseª of Jacob,ª which are calledª° by the nameª of Israel,ª and are come forthª° out of the watersª¹ of Judah,ª which swearª° by the nameª of the LORD,ª and make mentionª° of the Godª of Israel,ª [but] not¹ in truth,ª nor¹ in righteousness.ª" {Isa 48:1} + "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. ... And though¹ they say,ª° The LORDª liveth;ª surely¹ they swearª° falsely.ª" {Jer 5:1-2} + "Howª shall I pardonª° thee for this?ª thy childrenª have forsakenª° me, and swornª° by [them that are] noª gods:ª when I had fed them to the full,²°¹¹ they then committed adultery,ª° and assembled themselves¹ by troops²° in the harlots'ª° houses.ª ... 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 5:7-9} + "For¹ among my peopleª are foundª° wickedª [men]: they lay wait,ª° as he that settethª° snares;ª they setª° a trap,ª they catchª° men.²¹ ... As a cageª is fullª of birds,ª so¹ [are] their housesª fullª of deceit:ª therefore¹¹ they are become great,ª° and waxen rich.ª°" {Jer 5:26-27} + "As a fountainª casteth outª° her waters,ª so¹ she casteth¹ out²° her wickedness:ª violenceª and spoilª is heardª° in her; before¹¹ me² continuallyª [is] griefª and wounds.ª" {Jer 6:7} + "[If] ye oppressª° not¹ the stranger,ª the fatherless,ª and the widow,ª and shedª° not¹ innocentª bloodª in this¹ place,ª neither¹ walk²°¹ afterª otherª godsª to your hurt:ª ... And comeª° and standª° beforeª me in this¹ house,ª which¹ is calledª° by¹ my name,ª and say,ª° We are delivered²° to doª°¹¹¹ all¹ these¹ abominations?ª" {Jer 7:6-10} + "Oh that²° I had¹¹ in the wildernessª a lodging placeª of wayfaring men;ª° that I might leaveª°¹ my people,ª and go²°¹ from¹¹ them! for¹ they [be] all¹ adulterers,ª° an assemblyª of treacherous men.ª° ... Their tongueª [is as] an arrowª shot out;ª° it speakethª° deceit:ª [one] speakethª° peaceablyª to¹ his neighbourª with his mouth,ª but in heartª he layethª° his wait.ª" {Jer 9:2-8} + "For¹ the landª is fullª° of adulterers;ª° for¹ becauseª¹ of swearingª the landª mourneth;ª° the pleasant placesª of the wildernessª are dried up,ª° and their courseª is¹ evil,ª and their forceª [is] not¹ right.¹ ... I have seenª° also in the prophetsª of Jerusalemª an horrible thing:ª they commit adultery,ª° and walkª° in lies:ª they strengthenª° also the handsª of evildoers,ª° that noneª¹ doth returnª° from his wickedness:ª¹ they are¹ all¹ of them unto me as Sodom,ª and the inhabitantsª° thereof as Gomorrah.ª" {Jer 23:10-14} + "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 ... Behold,¹ therefore I have smittenª° mine handª at¹ thy dishonest gainª which¹ thou hast made,ª° and at¹ thy bloodª which¹ hath been¹ in the midstª of thee." {Ezk 22:2-13} + "[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. ... And I soughtª° for a manª among¹ them, that should make upª° the hedge,ª and standª° in the gapª beforeª me for¹ the land,ª that I should not¹ destroyª° it: but I foundª° none.¹" {Ezk 22:25-30} + "Woeª to them that deviseª° iniquity,ª and workª° evilª upon¹ their beds!ª when the morningª is light,ª they practiseª° it, because¹ it isª in the powerª of their hand.ª ... Therefore¹ thus¹ saithª° the LORD;ª Behold,¹ against¹ this¹ familyª do I deviseª° an evil,ª from¹¹ which¹ ye shall not¹ removeª° your necks;ª neither¹ shall ye go²°¹ haughtily:ª for¹ this¹ timeª [is] evil.ª" {Mic 2:1-3} + "Who hateª° the good,ª and loveª° the evil;ª who pluck offª° their skinª from off¹¹ them, and their fleshª from off¹¹ their bones;ª" {Mic 3:2} + "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" {Mic 3:9} + "Are thereª yet¹ the treasuresª of wickednessª°² in the houseª of the wicked,ª and the scantª measureª [that is] abominable?ª°" {Mic 6:10} + "The goodª [man] is perishedª° out of¹ the earth:ª and [there is] none¹ uprightª among men:ª they all¹ lie in waitª° for blood;ª they huntª° every manª¹ his brotherª with a net.ª" {Mic 7:2} + "Woeª to her that is filthy²°¹ and polluted,ª° to the oppressingª° city!ª" {Zph 3:1} + "Then saidª° he unto¹ me, This¹ [is] the curseª that goeth forthª° over¹ the faceª of the whole¹ earth:ª for¹ every one¹ that stealethª° shall be cut offª° [as] on this side¹¹ according² to it;¹ and every¹ one that swearethª° shall be cut offª° [as] on that side¹¹ according² to it.¹" {Zch 5:3} + "Thus¹ speakethª° the LORDª of hosts,ª saying,ª° Executeª° trueª judgment,ª and shewª° mercyª and compassionsª every manª to¹ his brother:ª" {Zch 7:9}
