¹² Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God:

⁹ The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?

²⁴ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in `their own' counsels `and' in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

¹² But they say, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart.

⁵ Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.

²⁵ See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned `them' on earth, much more `shall not' we `escape' who turn away from him that `warneth' from heaven:

⁸ Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the stubbornness of their evil heart: therefore I brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did them not.

³³ Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

¹³ For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

¹² Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

¹⁵ looking carefully lest `there be' any man that falleth short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble `you', and thereby the many be defiled;

³⁸ But my righteous one shall live by faith: And if he shrink back, my soul hath no pleasure in him.

³² For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, And the careless ease of fools shall destroy them.

⁹ But take ye heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in synagogues shall ye be beaten; and before governors and kings shall ye stand for my sake, for a testimony unto them.

¹⁰ Wherefore I was displeased with this generation, And said, They do always err in their heart: But they did not know my ways;

⁴ And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man lead you astray.

²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,

²² covetings, wickednesses, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness:

²³ all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the man.

²¹ And Jehovah smelled the sweet savor; and Jehovah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake, for that the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more everything living, as I have done.

¹⁴ And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

¹⁷ Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

²¹ For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.

¹⁷ At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

¹² and ye have done evil more than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that ye hearken not unto me:

² When Jehovah spake at the first by Hosea, Jehovah said unto Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredom and children of whoredom; for the land doth commit great whoredom, `departing' from Jehovah.

²³ But take ye heed: behold, I have told you all things beforehand.

⁸ And he said, Take heed that ye be not led astray: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am `he'; and, The time is at hand: go ye not after them.

²¹ for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee.

⁹ For they themselves report concerning us what manner of entering in we had unto you; and how ye turned unto God from idols, to serve a living and true God,

¹ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard, lest haply we drift away `from them'.

² For if the word spoken through angels proved stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;

³ how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord, was confirmed unto us by them that heard;

¹³ transgressing and denying Jehovah, and turning away from following our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

¹⁶ And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
