¹⁸ And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.

¹³ Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

¹⁶ And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.

³⁸ And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

³ Is it not trouble for the sinner, and destruction for the evil-doers?

²⁹ The way of the Lord is a strong tower for the upright man, but destruction to the workers of evil.

²¹ Evil will overtake sinners, but the upright will be rewarded with good.
