⁸ And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

¹⁶ But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

⁴ For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

²² His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.

¹⁴ The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the LORD hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.

¹ I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

² Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

³ And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

⁴ And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

¹¹ Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?

⁷ And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.

³² Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

¹⁶ Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.
