  1. Deuteronomy 5:11 innocent

23 And it will be to them like a false divination in the eyes of those who (A)have sworn oaths with them; but he will bring their iniquity to remembrance, that they may be taken.

24 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear—because you have come to remembrance, you shall be taken in hand.

25 ‘Now to you, O (B)profane, wicked prince of Israel, (C)whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end, 26 thus says the Lord God:

“Remove the turban, and take off the crown;
Nothing shall remain the same.
(D)Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.
27 [a]Overthrown, overthrown,
I will make it overthrown!
(E)It shall be no longer,
Until He comes whose right it is,
And I will give it to (F)Him.” ’
