“Oh, sinful nation, a people weighed down by iniquity, descendants of evildoers, immoral children! They have abandoned Adonai, spurned the Holy One of Isra’el, turned their backs on him!

He touched my mouth with it and said, “Here! This has touched your lips. Your iniquity is gone, your sin is atoned for.”

“I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the arrogance of the proud and humble the insolence of tyrants.

Get ready to slaughter his sons for the iniquity of their fathers; so they won’t arise, take over the earth and cover the world with their cities.”

Is Gil‘ad given to iniquity? Yes, they have become worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice to bulls; therefore their altars are like piles of stones in a plowed field.”

Grace and truth atone for iniquity, and people turn from evil through fear of Adonai.

For he knows when people are worthless; so if he sees iniquity, won’t he look into it?

if you will put your iniquity at a distance and not let unrighteousness remain in your tents,
