| Daniel 9:12 | He has confirmed his words, which he spoke against us and against our rulers who ruled us, by bringing upon us a great calamity. For under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what has been done against Jerusalem. |
| Daniel 9:13 | As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this calamity has come upon us; yet we have not entreated the favor of the LORD our God, turning from our iniquities and gaining insight by your truth. |

| Daniel 9:17 | Now therefore, O our God, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy, and for your own sake, O Lord, make your face to shine upon your sanctuary, which is desolate. |

| Daniel 9:19 | O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive. O Lord, pay attention and act. Delay not, for your own sake, O my God, because your city and your people are called by your name." |
| Daniel 10:2 | In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. |
| Daniel 10:3 | I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks. |
| Daniel 10:19 | And he said, "O man greatly loved, fear not, peace be with you; be strong and of good courage." And as he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me." |
| Zechariah 12:10 | "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. |

| 2 Corinthians 7:9 | As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. |
| 2 Corinthians 7:10 | For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. |
| 2 Corinthians 7:11 | For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter. |
| James 4:8 | Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. |
| James 4:9 | Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. |

| Ecclesiastes 1:13 | And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with. |
| Ecclesiastes 1:14 | I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind. |
| Ecclesiastes 1:15 | What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted. |
| Ecclesiastes 1:16 | I said in my heart, "I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge." |
| Ecclesiastes 1:17 | And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:1 | I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself." But behold, this also was vanity. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:2 | I said of laughter, "It is mad," and of pleasure, "What use is it?" |
| Ecclesiastes 2:3 | I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine--my heart still guiding me with wisdom--and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:12 | So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done. |
| Ecclesiastes 2:20 | So I turned about and gave my heart up to despair over all the toil of my labors under the sun, |
| know | |
| Genesis 34:7 | The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing must not be done. |
| Joshua 7:13 | Get up! Consecrate the people and say, 'Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow; for thus says the LORD, God of Israel, "There are devoted things in your midst, O Israel. You cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted things from among you." |
| 2 Samuel 13:12 | She answered him, "No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this outrageous thing. |
| Proverbs 17:12 | Let a man meet a she-bear robbed of her cubs rather than a fool in his folly. |
| Proverbs 26:11 | Like a dog that returns to his vomit is a fool who repeats his folly. |
| Ecclesiastes 9:3 | This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. |
| Ecclesiastes 10:13 | The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is evil madness. |
| the reason | |
| Ecclesiastes 2:15 | Then I said in my heart, "What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?" And I said in my heart that this also is vanity. |
| Ecclesiastes 3:16 | Moreover, I saw under the sun that in the place of justice, even there was wickedness, and in the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness. |
| Ecclesiastes 3:17 | I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work. |
| Ecclesiastes 7:27 | Behold, this is what I found, says the Preacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things-- |
| Ecclesiastes 9:1 | But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him. |
| Ecclesiastes 9:2 | It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil, to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath. |
| Jeremiah 12:1 | Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? |
| Jeremiah 12:2 | You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. |
| 2 Peter 2:3 | And in their greed they will exploit you with false words. Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. |
| 2 Peter 2:4 | For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment; |
| 2 Peter 2:5 | if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; |
| 2 Peter 2:6 | if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, making them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; |
| 2 Peter 2:7 | and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked |
| 2 Peter 2:8 | (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); |
| 2 Peter 2:9 | then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, |
| 2 Peter 3:3 | knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires. |
| 2 Peter 3:4 | They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation." |
| 2 Peter 3:5 | For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, |
| 2 Peter 3:6 | and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished. |
| 2 Peter 3:7 | But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. |
| 2 Peter 3:8 | But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. |
| 2 Peter 3:9 | The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. |

| Genesis 6:12 | And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. |
| Genesis 11:4 | Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth." |

| Psalms 106:29 | they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. |
| Psalms 106:39 | Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. |
| Jeremiah 2:12 | Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the LORD, |
| Jeremiah 2:13 | for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water. |
| Jeremiah 4:22 | "For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are 'wise'--in doing evil! But how to do good they know not." |
| Ezekiel 22:6 | "Behold, the princes of Israel in you, every one according to his power, have been bent on shedding blood. |
| Ezekiel 22:7 | Father and mother are treated with contempt in you; the sojourner suffers extortion in your midst; the fatherless and the widow are wronged in you. |
| Ezekiel 22:8 | You have despised my holy things and profaned my Sabbaths. |
| Ezekiel 22:9 | There are men in you who slander to shed blood, and people in you who eat on the mountains; they commit lewdness in your midst. |
| Ezekiel 22:10 | In you men uncover their fathers' nakedness; in you they violate women who are unclean in their menstrual impurity. |

| Mark 7:8 | You leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of men." |
| Mark 7:9 | And he said to them, "You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition! |
| Acts 7:40 | saying to Aaron, 'Make for us gods who will go before us. As for this Moses who led us out from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' |
| Acts 7:41 | And they made a calf in those days, and offered a sacrifice to the idol and were rejoicing in the works of their hands. |
| Acts 7:42 | But God turned away and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets: "'Did you bring to me slain beasts and sacrifices, during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? |
| Acts 7:43 | You took up the tent of Moloch and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship; and I will send you into exile beyond Babylon.' |
| Romans 1:21 | For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. |
| Romans 1:22 | Claiming to be wise, they became fools, |
| Romans 1:23 | and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. |
| Romans 1:24 | Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, |
| Romans 1:25 | because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. |
| Romans 1:26 | For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; |
| Romans 1:27 | and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. |
| Romans 1:28 | And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. |
| Romans 1:29 | They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, |
| Romans 1:30 | slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, |
| Romans 1:31 | foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. |
| Romans 1:32 | Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. |
| Romans 3:9 | What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, |
| Romans 3:10 | as it is written: "None is righteous, no, not one; |
| Romans 3:11 | no one understands; no one seeks for God. |
| Romans 3:12 | All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one." |
| Romans 3:13 | "Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.The venom of asps is under their lips." |
| Romans 3:14 | "Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness." |
| Romans 3:15 | "Their feet are swift to shed blood; |
| Romans 3:16 | in their paths are ruin and misery, |
| Romans 3:17 | and the way of peace they have not known." |
| Romans 3:18 | "There is no fear of God before their eyes." |
| Romans 3:19 | Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. |
| Ephesians 2:2 | in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience-- |
| Ephesians 2:3 | among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. |
| Titus 3:3 | For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. |
