Psalm 81:12; Leviticus 26:23–24; Proverbs 3:34; Acts 7:42; Romans 1:28

12  So I cgave them over to their dstubborn hearts,

to follow their own ecounsels.

23 “And fif by this discipline you are not turned to me cbut walk contrary to me, 24 gthen I also will walk contrary to you, and I myself will strike you sevenfold for your sins.

34  Toward the cscorners he dis scornful,

ebut to the humble he gives favor.1

42 But jGod turned away and kgave them over to worship lthe host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets:

m“‘Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices,

nduring the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, zGod gave them up to aa debased mind to do bwhat ought not to be done.
