Quotes about Sin

Then the LORD said to me: “Son of man, will you pass judgment against Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.

For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have even sacrificed their children, whom they bore to Me, in the fire as food for their idols.

On the very day they slaughtered their children for their idols, they entered My sanctuary to profane it. Yes, they did this inside My house.

Then I said of her who had grown old in adulteries: ‘Now let them use her as a prostitute, for that is all she is!’

And they slept with her as with a prostitute; they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, those lewd women.

From the day you were created you were blameless in your ways—until wickedness was found in you.

By the vastness of your trade, you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mountain of God, and I banished you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones.

Therefore, son of man, say to your people: ‘The righteousness of the righteous man will not deliver him in the day of his transgression; neither will the wickedness of the wicked man cause him to stumble on the day he turns from his wickedness. Nor will the righteous man be able to survive by his righteousness on the day he sins.’

But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—

None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.

If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he will die for it.

Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have made the land a desolate waste because of all the abominations they have committed.’
