Job 17:5

‘Yahweh is slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, forgiving iniquity and disobedience; and he will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation.’

for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies.

For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

You say, ‘God lays up his iniquity for his children.’ Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.

You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, Yahweh of Armies is your name:

You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars.

“ ‘As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies. The sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword. They will fall when no one pursues.

Your children shall be wanderers in the wilderness forty years, and shall bear your prostitution, until your dead bodies are consumed in the wilderness.

for they called the people to the sacrifices of their gods. The people ate and bowed down to their gods.

for Yahweh your God among you is a jealous God, lest the anger of Yahweh your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

So are the paths of all who forget God. The hope of the godless man will perish,

Don’t hold the iniquities of our forefathers against us. Let your tender mercies speedily meet us, for we are in desperate need.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by Yahweh. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

Prepare for slaughter of his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, that they not rise up and possess the earth, and fill the surface of the world with cities.

“Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘You shall tell the king of Judah, who sent you to me to inquire of me: “Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which has come out to help you, will return to Egypt into their own land.

“Yet you say, ‘Why doesn’t the son bear the iniquity of the father?’ When the son has done that which is lawful and right, and has kept all my statutes, and has done them, he will surely live.

I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,

In covetousness they will exploit you with deceptive words: whose sentence now from of old doesn’t linger, and their destruction will not slumber.

I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. You will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

You will father sons and daughters, but they will not be yours, for they will go into captivity.

They abandoned Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them; and they provoked Yahweh to anger.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their heart is destruction. Their throat is an open tomb. They flatter with their tongue.

I am weary with my crying. My throat is dry. My eyes fail looking for my God.

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,

for as he thinks about the cost, so he is. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, but his heart is not with you.

A lying tongue hates those it hurts; and a flattering mouth works ruin.

your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together”, says Yahweh, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work into their bosom.”

The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.

It will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.” ’ ”

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

“ ‘You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people. “ ‘You shall not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am Yahweh.

“ ‘You shall make for yourselves no idols, and you shall not raise up a carved image or a pillar, and you shall not place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it; for I am Yahweh your God.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

The haters of Yahweh would cringe before him, and their punishment would last forever.

Give us help against the enemy, for the help of man is vain.

Look on my right, and see; for there is no one who is concerned for me. Refuge has fled from me. No one cares for my soul.

A man of violence entices his neighbor, and leads him in a way that is not good.

A man who isolates himself pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious;

Surely extortion makes the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroys the understanding.

Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it, and warms himself. Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it a carved image, and falls down to it.

No one thinks, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned part of it in the fire. Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals. I have roasted meat and eaten it. Shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I bow down to a tree trunk?”

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Besides, they also learn to be idle, going about from house to house. Not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people. Your eyes will look, and fail with longing for them all day long. There will be no power in your hand.

Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.

Will you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for him?

For I don’t know how to give flattering titles, or else my Maker would soon take me away.

That which makes a man to be desired is his kindness. A poor man is better than a liar.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don’t keep company with him who opens wide his lips.
