חַטָּאָה

How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.

For then You would count my steps, but would not keep track of my sin.

For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”

For you ask, ‘What does it profit me, and what benefit do I gain apart from sin?’

Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.

Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.

See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.

By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.

Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name; deliver us and atone for our sins, for the sake of Your name.

You forgave the iniquity of Your people; You covered all their sin. Selah

May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

The iniquities of a wicked man entrap him; the cords of his sin entangle him.

The labor of the righteous leads to life, but the gain of the wicked brings punishment.

Righteousness guards the man of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure; I am cleansed from my sin”?

Haughty eyes and a proud heart—the guides of the wicked—are sin.

A foolish scheme is sin, and a mocker is detestable to men.

The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves.

Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of deceit and pull sin along with cart ropes,

And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”

Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.

“Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her forced labor has been completed; her iniquity has been pardoned. For she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.”

You have not bought Me sweet cane with your silver, nor satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

I, yes I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake and remembers your sins no more.

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud, and your sins like a mist. Return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

“Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your voice like a ram’s horn. Declare to My people their transgression and to the house of Jacob their sins.

But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear.

For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. Our transgressions are indeed with us, and we know our iniquities:

Your iniquities have diverted these from you; your sins have deprived you of My bounty.

This is what the LORD says about this people: “Truly they love to wander; they have not restrained their feet. So the LORD does not accept them; He will now remember their iniquity and punish them for their sins.”

Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.

When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’

And I will first repay them double their iniquity and their sin, because they have defiled My land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and they have filled My inheritance with their abominations.”

“The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, engraved with a diamond point on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars.

O My mountain in the countryside, I will give over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder, because of the sin of your high places, within all your borders.

But You, O LORD, know all their deadly plots against me. Do not wipe out their guilt or blot out their sin from Your sight. Let them be overthrown before You; deal with them in the time of Your anger.

All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you, for I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins.

Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.

No longer will each man teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”

Perhaps when the people of Judah hear about all the calamity I plan to bring upon them, each of them will turn from his wicked way. Then I will forgive their iniquity and their sin.”

In those days and at that time, declares the LORD, a search will be made for Israel’s guilt, but there will be none, and for Judah’s sins, but they will not be found; for I will forgive the remnant I preserve.
