Sin: Punishment of

…but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

To the woman He said: “I will sharply increase your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” …

If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.”

So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

Then the LORD said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. Because their sin is so grievous,

…because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”

The LORD replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot out of My book.

Now go, lead the people to the place I described. Behold, My angel shall go before you. But on the day I settle accounts, I will punish them for their sin.”

But if you do not do this, you will certainly sin against the LORD—and be assured that your sin will find you out.

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come upon them? Does God, in His anger, apportion destruction?

For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”

So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem and all the cities of Judah; and behold, they lie today in ruins and desolation

…because of the evil they have done. They provoked Me to anger by continuing to burn incense and to serve other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.

But they did not listen or incline their ears; they did not turn from their wickedness or stop burning incense to other gods.

Therefore My wrath and anger poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so that they have become the desolate ruin they are today.
