³⁹ And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and ^(A)remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you ^(B)may not ^(C)follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined,

Seek God in Early Life

^29 (A)If your right eye causes you to ^[a]sin, ^(B)pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

⁷ For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before him what causes him to stumble into iniquity, then comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I the Lord will answer him by Myself.

³ “Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them ^(A)that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. ^(B)Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?

⁹ Then those of you who escape will ^(A)remember Me among the nations where they are carried captive, because ^(B)I was crushed by their adulterous heart which has departed from Me, and ^(C)by their eyes which play the harlot after their idols; ^(D)they will loathe themselves for the evils which they committed in all their abominations.
