⁸ And he said, This is Sin; and pushing her down into the ephah, he put the weight of lead on the mouth of it.

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

⁴ For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.

²² The evil-doer will be taken in the net of his crimes, and prisoned in the cords of his sin.

¹⁴ A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.

¹ I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

² Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down:

³ Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

⁴ And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.

¹¹ Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?

⁷ And I saw a round cover of lead lifted up; and a woman was seated in the middle of the ephah.

³² Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.

¹⁶ Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.
