Psalms 106:6-7
6 aBoth we and bour fathers have sinned;we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they cdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but drebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
Isaiah 63:10
10 eBut they rebelledfand grieved his Holy Spirit;
therefore he turned to be their enemy,
and himself fought against them.
Ezekiel 16:15-22
15 g“But you trusted in your beauty hand played the whore ▼▼Or were unfaithful; also verses 16, 17, 26, 28
because of your renown jand lavished your whorings ▼▼Or unfaithfulness; also verses 20, 22, 25, 26, 29, 33, 34, 36
on any passerby; your beauty ▼▼Hebrew it
became his. 16You took some of your garments and made for yourself colorful shrines, and on them played the whore. The like has never been, nor ever shall be. ▼▼The meaning of this Hebrew sentence is uncertain
17You also took nyour beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and omade for yourself images of men, and with them played the whore. 18And you took your embroidered garments to cover them, pand set my oil and my incense before them. 19 qAlso my bread that I gave you— rI fed you with fine flour and oil and honey—you set before them for sa pleasing aroma; and so it was, declares the Lord God. 20 tAnd you took your sons and your daughters, whom you had borne to me, and uthese you sacrificed to them to be devoured. Were your whorings so small a matter 21that you slaughtered my children and delivered them up as an offering by fire to them? 22And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember vthe days of your youth, wwhen you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood. Ezekiel 20:8
8 xBut they rebelled against me and were not willing to listen to me. yNone of them cast away the detestable things their eyes feasted on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them zand spend my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
Ezekiel 20:28
28For when I had brought them into the land that aaI swore to give them, then wherever they saw abany high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices and there they presented acthe provocation of their offering; there they sent up their pleasing aromas, and there they poured out their drink offerings.Ezekiel 23:43-44
43“Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will continue to use her for a whore, even her!' ▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew verse is uncertain
44For they have gone in to her, as men go in to a prostitute. Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, lewd women! Acts 7:51-53
51 ae“You stiff-necked people, afuncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. agAs your fathers did, so do you. 52 ahWhich of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of aithe Righteous One, ajwhom you have now betrayed and murdered, 53you who received the law akas delivered by angels and aldid not keep it.”
