'Sin' in the Bible
The look on their faces testifies against them,and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin.They do not conceal it.Woe to them,for they have brought evil on themselves.
Woe to those who drag wickednesswith cords of deceitand pull sin along with cart ropes,
He touched my mouth with it and said:Now that this has touched your lips,your wickedness is removedand your sin is atoned for.
The Lord of Hosts has directly revealed to me:“This sin of yours will never be wiped out.”The Lord God of Hosts has spoken.
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 stoneslike crushed bits of chalk,no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
Woe to the rebellious children!This is the Lord’s declaration.They carry out a plan, but not Mine;they make an alliance,but against My will,piling sin on top of sin.
Therefore I will give Him the many as a portion,and He will receive the mighty as spoil,because He submitted Himself to death,and was counted among the rebels;yet He bore the sin of manyand interceded for the rebels.
