- the transgression of Jacob:
- "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} + "Thus¹ saithª° the LORD,ª Where¹ [is] the billª of your mother'sª divorcement,ª whom¹ I have put away?ª° or¹ which¹ of my creditorsª°¹ [is it] to whom¹ I have soldª° you? Behold,¹ for your iniquitiesª have ye sold²° yourselves,¹ and for your transgressionsª is your motherª put away.ª° ... Wherefore,¹ when I came,ª° [was there] no¹ man?ª when I called,ª° [was there] none¹ to answer?ª° Is my handª shortened²° at all,ª° that it cannot redeem?ª¹ or¹ have I no¹ powerª to deliver?ª° behold,¹ at my rebukeª I dry upª° the sea,ª I makeª° the riversª a wilderness:ª their fishª stinketh,ª° because [there is] no¹¹ water,ª and diethª° for thirst.ª" {Isa 50:1-2} + "Behold,ª the LORD'Sª handª is not¹ shortened,ª° that it cannot save;ª°¹ neither¹ his earª heavy,ª° that it cannot hear:ª°¹ ... 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 59:1-15} + "Hast thou not¹ procuredª° this¹ unto thyself, in that thou hast forsakenª°¹ the LORDª thy God,ª whenª he led²°¹ thee by the way?ª" {Jer 2:17} + "Thine own wickednessª shall correctª° thee, and thy backslidingsª shall reproveª° thee: knowª° therefore and seeª° that¹ [it is] an evilª [thing] and bitter,ª that thou hast forsakenª°¹ the LORDª thy God,ª and that my fearª [is] not¹ in¹ thee, saithª° the Lordª GODª of hosts.ª" {Jer 2:19} + "Thy wayª and thy doingsª have procuredª° these¹ [things] unto thee; this¹ [is] thy wickedness,ª because¹ it is bitter,ª because¹ it reachethª° unto¹ thine heart.ª" {Jer 4:18} + "Your iniquitiesª have turned awayª° these¹ [things], and your sinsª have withholdenª° goodª [things] from¹ you." {Jer 5:25} + "Hear,ª° O earth:ª behold,¹ I¹ will bringª° evilª upon¹ this¹ people,ª [even] the fruitª of their thoughts,ª because¹ they have not¹ hearkenedª° unto¹ my words,ª nor to my law,ª but rejectedª° it." {Jer 6:19} + "The crownª is fallenª° [from] our head:ª woeª unto us, that¹ we have sinned!ª°" {Lam 5:16} + "Who both² killedª°¹ the¹ Lordª Jesus,ª andª their ownª prophets,ª andª have persecutedª° us;ª andª they pleaseª° notª God,ª andª are contraryª to allª men:ª ... Forbiddingª° usª to speakª° to the¹ Gentilesª thatª they might be saved,ª° to² fill upª° their²¹ sinsª alway:ª forª the¹ wrathª is comeª° uponª themª toª the uttermost.ª" {1Th 2:15-16}
