⁷ The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁸ The Lord God hath sworn by himself, saith the Lord the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.

⁹ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

¹³ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the Lord accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

² And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now their own doings have beset them about; they are before my face.

¹¹ He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

³⁴ And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

17 The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

²⁵ I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

⁴ He shall choose our inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom he loved. Selah.
