Sin and Treachery
4 “You shall say to them, Thus says the Lord:mWhen men fall, do they not rise again?
If one turns away, does he not return?
5Why then has this people nturned away
in perpetual obacksliding?
pThey hold fast to deceit;
they refuse to return.

but they have not spoken rightly;
no man relents of his evil,
saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his own course,
rlike a horse plunging headlong into battle.

his iniquity, xbut his blood I will require at your hand. 19 yBut if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, zbut you aawill have delivered your soul.
