And it will be worn on Aaron’s forehead, so that he may bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be acceptable before the LORD.

…and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,

For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.

Why do You not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For soon I will lie down in the dust; You will seek me, but I will be no more.”

…that You should seek my iniquity and search out my sin—

If I sinned, You would take note, and would not acquit me of my iniquity.

…and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God exacts from you less than your iniquity deserves.

And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.

For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.

Do not drag me away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, who speak peace to their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.

For my life is consumed with grief and my years with groaning; my iniquity has drained my strength, and my bones are wasting away.

Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah

Yes, I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.

You discipline and correct a man for his iniquity, consuming like a moth what he holds dear; surely each man is but a vapor. Selah

Wash me clean of my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

Surely I was brought forth in iniquity; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.

Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.

And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.

And He will redeem Israel from all iniquity.

Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing or take part in works of wickedness with men who do iniquity; let me not feast on their delicacies.

By loving devotion and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns aside from evil.

A corrupt witness mocks justice, and a wicked mouth swallows iniquity.

Justice executed is a joy to the righteous, but a terror to the workers of iniquity.

Alas, O sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a brood of evildoers, children who act corruptly! They have forsaken the LORD; they have despised the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on Him.
