Genesis 44:16 TSK

Judah

Your servant became accountable to my father for the boy, saying, ‘If I do not return him to you, I will always bear the guilt for sinning against you, my father.’

Then Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy with me. We will be on our way so that we may live and not die—neither we, nor you, nor our children.

What shall we say

“If there is a dispute between men, they are to go to court, and the judges will hear their case. They will clear the innocent and condemn the guilty.

Now, our God, what can we say in light of this? For we have abandoned the commands

I am so insignificant. How can I answer You?
I place my hand over my mouth.

Acquitting the guilty and condemning the just—
both are detestable to the Lord.

So now, residents of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
please judge between Me
and My vineyard.

Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel—those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where You have dispersed them because of the disloyalty they have shown toward You.

When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: “Brothers, what must we do?”

God hath

They saw him in the distance, and before he had reached them, they plotted to kill him.

Then they said to each other, “Obviously, we are being punished for what we did to our brother. We saw his deep distress when he pleaded with us, but we would not listen. That is why this trouble has come to us.”

But if you don’t do this, you will certainly sin against the Lord; be sure your sin will catch up with you.

The Israelites, however, were unfaithful regarding the things set apart for destruction. Achan son of Carmi, son of Zabdi, son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was set apart, and the Lord’s anger burned against the Israelites.

Adoni-bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to pick up scraps under my table. God has repaid me for what I have done.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

A man burdened by bloodguilt
will be a fugitive until death.
Let no one help him.

For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

There is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered, nothing hidden that won’t be made known.

Iniquity

I will be responsible for him. You can hold me personally accountable! If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, I will be guilty before you forever.

Therefore Jacob’s iniquity will be purged in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but this day public shame belongs to us: the men of Judah, the residents of Jerusalem, and all Israel—those who are near and those who are far, in all the countries where You have dispersed them because of the disloyalty they have shown toward You.

Behold

If any of us is found to have it, he must die, and we also will become my lord’s slaves.”

There we were, binding sheaves of grain in the field. Suddenly my sheaf stood up, and your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”
