Psalms 7:14

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If you do well, won’t it be lifted up? If you don’t do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it.”

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

It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity, and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and give birth to iniquity.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may you also do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death.

but you shall not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up?

Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

“If anyone sins, and commits a trespass against Yahweh, and deals falsely with his neighbor in a matter of deposit, or of bargain, or of robbery, or has oppressed his neighbor,

When I saw among the plunder a beautiful Babylonian robe, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, then I coveted them and took them. Behold, they are hidden in the ground in the middle of my tent, with the silver under it.”

David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”

“Why aren’t times laid up by the Almighty? Why don’t those who know him see his days?

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

Don’t be hasty in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Friends deceive each other, and will not speak the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak lies. They weary themselves commiting iniquity.

He will say, ‘I tell you, I don’t know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity.’

While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

For God has bound all to disobedience, that he might have mercy on all.

By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, a thorn in the flesh was given to me: a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
