Exposure » Of sin » Rendered doubly certain by God's infinite knowledge
Certainly I am aware of your many rebellious acts and your numerous sins. You torment the innocent, you take bribes, and you deny justice to the needy at the city gate.
Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and said to me, "Say: This is what the Lord says: 'This is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; I know what goes through your minds.
For I see everything they do. Their wicked ways are not hidden from me. Their sin is not hidden away where I cannot see it.
If I sinned, then you would watch me and you would not acquit me of my iniquity.
You can try to wash away your guilt with a strong detergent. You can use as much soap as you want. But the stain of your guilt is still there for me to see," says the Lord God.
They do not realize that I remember all of their wicked deeds. Their evil deeds have now surrounded them; their sinful deeds are always before me.
