¹⁴ and therefore I have sworn to the house of Eli: the iniquity of the house of Eli is not atoned for, by sacrifice, and by offering -- unto the age.'

¹⁴ And revealed it hath been in mine ears, `By' Jehovah of Hosts: Not pardoned is this iniquity to you, Till ye die, said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts.

²⁵ If a man sin against a man, then hath God judged him; but if against Jehovah a man sin, who doth pray for him?' and they hearken not to the voice of their father, though Jehovah hath delighted to put them to death.

²⁶ For we -- willfully sinning after the receiving the full knowledge of the truth -- no more for sins doth there remain a sacrifice,

²⁷ but a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery zeal, about to devour the opposers;

²⁸ any one who did set at nought a law of Moses, apart from mercies, by two or three witnesses, doth die,

²⁹ of how much sorer punishment shall he be counted worthy who the Son of God did trample on, and the blood of the covenant did count a common thing, in which he was sanctified, and to the Spirit of the grace did despite?

³⁰ for we have known Him who is saying, `Vengeance `is' Mine, I will recompense, saith the Lord;' and again, `The Lord shall judge His people;' --

³¹ fearful `is' the falling into the hands of a living God.

⁴ for it is impossible for blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

⁵ Wherefore, coming into the world, he saith, `Sacrifice and offering Thou didst not will, and a body Thou didst prepare for me,

⁶ in burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offerings, Thou didst not delight,

⁷ then I said, Lo, I come, (in a volume of the book it hath been written concerning me,) to do, O God, Thy will;'

⁸ saying above -- `Sacrifice, and offering, and burnt-offerings, and concerning sin-offering Thou didst not will, nor delight in,' -- which according to the law are offered --

⁹ then he said, `Lo, I come to do, O God, Thy will;' he doth take away the first that the second he may establish;

¹⁰ in the which will we are having been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once,

¹ And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.

¹⁶ And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.

¹⁶ For Thou desirest not sacrifice, or I give `it', Burnt-offering Thou acceptest not.

³⁰ `And the person who doth `aught' with a high hand -- of the native or of the sojourner -- Jehovah he is reviling, and that person hath been cut off from the midst of his people;

³¹ because the word of Jehovah he despised, and His command hath broken -- that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity `is' on him.'

³¹ `And ye have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they die not in their uncleanness, in their defiling My tabernacle which `is' in their midst.

¹³ In thine uncleanness `is' wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.
