- backsliding:
- "And I saw,ª° when¹ for¹ all¹ the causesª whereby¹ backslidingª Israelª committed adulteryª° I had put her away,ª° and givenª°¹ her¹ a billª of divorce;ª yet her treacherousª° sisterª Judahª fearedª° not,¹ but went²°¹ and played the harlotª° also.¹" {Jer 3:8} + "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ me, The backslidingª Israelª hath justifiedª° herselfª more than treacherousª°¹ Judah.ª ... Turn,ª° O backslidingª children,ª saithª° the LORD;ª for¹ I¹ am marriedª° unto you: and I will takeª° you oneª of a city,ª¹ and twoª of a family,ª¹ and I will bringª° you to Zion:ª" {Jer 3:11-14} + "Thine own wickednessª shall correctª° thee, and thy backslidingsª shall reproveª° thee: knowª° therefore and seeª° that¹ [it is] an evilª [thing] and bitter,ª that thou hast forsakenª°¹ the LORDª thy God,ª and that my fearª [is] not¹ in¹ thee, saithª° the Lordª GODª of hosts.ª" {Jer 2:19} + "But they hearkenedª° not,¹ nor¹ inclinedª°¹ their ear,ª but walked²°¹ in the counselsª [and] in the imaginationª of their evilª heart,ª and went¹ backward,ª and not¹ forward.ª" {Jer 7:24} + "For [so] it was,¹ that¹ the childrenª of Israelª had sinnedª° against the LORDª their God,ª which had brought them upª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from under¹¹ the handª of Pharaohª kingª of Egypt,ª and had fearedª° otherª gods,ª ... And they caused¹ their sonsª and their daughtersª to pass²° through¹ the fire,ª and usedª° divinationª and enchantments,ª° and sold²° themselves¹ to doª° evilª in the sightª of the LORD,ª to provoke him to anger.ª°" {2Kg 17:7-17} + "And when her sisterª Aholibahª sawª° [this], she was more corruptª° in her inordinate loveª than¹ she, and in her whoredomsª more than her sisterª in [her] whoredoms.ª¹" {Ezk 23:11}
