¹⁴ Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

²⁷ Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

⁵ Because they regard not the works of the Lord, nor the operation of his hands, he shall destroy them, and not build them up.

¹² And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands.

⁶ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

¹⁰ Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.

²⁴ But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
