If you sin, how will it hurt him? And if your iniquities are multiplied, what will you do against him?
I have sinned; what should I do for you, O keeper of men? Why have you set me against you, so that I have become burdensome even to myself?
But he who sins against me will wound his own soul. All who hate me love death."
If you would be wise, you will be so for yourself. But if you would be one who ridicules, you alone shall carry the evil.
But are they provoking me to anger, says the Lord? Are they not provoking themselves, to the confusion of their own faces?"
