If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against him? And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to him?
If I sin, what do I do to thee, thou watcher of men? Why hast thou made me thy mark? Why have I become a burden to thee?
but he who misses me injures himself; all who hate me love death.”
If you are wise, you are wise for yourself; if you scoff, you alone will bear it.
Is it I whom they provoke? says the Lord. Is it not themselves, to their own confusion?
