¹⁰ wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, Always do they go astray in heart, and these have not known My ways;

¹⁰ Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heart -- they! And they have not known My ways:'

¹⁰ and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because the love of the truth they did not receive for their being saved,

¹¹ and because of this shall God send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,

¹² that they may be judged -- all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.

¹² See, brethren, lest there shall be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in the falling away from the living God,

³⁰ and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.

²⁸ And, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;

⁴⁵ `And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

¹⁹ `And this is the judgment, that the light hath come to the world, and men did love the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;

⁵ And having looked round upon them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their heart, he saith to the man, `Stretch forth thy hand;' and he stretched forth, and his hand was restored whole as the other;

¹² My people at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under their God.

²² For my people `are' foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons `are' they, yea, they `are' not intelligent, Wise `are' they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.

¹⁰ And they have rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit, And He turneth to them for an enemy, He Himself hath fought against them.

⁷ And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.

²⁰ He hath not done so to any nation, As to judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye Jah!

⁴⁰ How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?

⁸ And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God `is' its spirit.

² For the knowledge in earth of Thy way, among all nations of Thy salvation.

¹⁶ And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.

⁶ and Jehovah repenteth that He hath made man in the earth, and He grieveth Himself -- unto His heart.

⁷ for if the truth of God in my falsehood did more abound to His glory, why yet am I also as a sinner judged?
