如彼邦族行我所惡、不聽我言、我則回意、不錫所言之福、

如其邦國行惡於我前、不聽我命、則我亦改我旨、不降所言欲降之福、

and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.

And then it does what is evil in my eyes. It does not obey me. Then I will think again about the good things I had wanted to do for it.

and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had intended to do to it.

However, if it does what is evil in my sight by not listening to me, I will relent concerning the good I had said I would do to it.

if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said that I would bless it.

if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.

if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

However, if it does what is evil in My sight by not listening to My voice, I will relent concerning the good I had said I would do to it.

If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

But if that nation does what displeases me and does not obey me, then I will cancel the good I promised to do to it.

if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.

For again I say, when righteous people turn away from their righteous behavior and turn to evil, they will die.

“ Therefore, the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I promised that your branch of the tribe of Levi would always be my priests. But I will honor those who honor me, and I will despise those who think lightly of me.

“ How foolish!” Samuel exclaimed.“ You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you. Had you kept it, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

However, if righteous people turn from their righteous behavior and start doing sinful things and act like other sinners, should they be allowed to live? No, of course not! All their righteous acts will be forgotten, and they will die for their sins.

“ I am sorry that I ever made Saul king, for he has not been loyal to me and has refused to obey my command.” Samuel was so deeply moved when he heard this that he cried out to the Lord all night.

But banish those who turn to crooked ways, O Lord. Take them away with those who do evil. May Israel have peace!

Samuel never went to meet with Saul again, but he mourned constantly for him. And the Lord was sorry he had ever made Saul king of Israel.

This is what I told them:‘ Obey me, and I will be your God, and you will be my people. Do everything as I say, and all will be well!’“ But my people would not listen to me. They kept doing whatever they wanted, following the stubborn desires of their evil hearts. They went backward instead of forward.From the day your ancestors left Egypt until now, I have continued to send my servants, the prophets— day in and day out.But my people have not listened to me or even tried to hear. They have been stubborn and sinful— even worse than their ancestors.“ Tell them all this, but do not expect them to listen. Shout out your warnings, but do not expect them to respond.Say to them,‘ This is the nation whose people will not obey the Lord their God and who refuse to be taught. Truth has vanished from among them; it is no longer heard on their lips.

And I will destroy those who used to worship me but now no longer do. They no longer ask for the Lord’s guidance or seek my blessings.”

not one of these people will ever enter that land. They have all seen my glorious presence and the miraculous signs I performed both in Egypt and in the wilderness, but again and again they have tested me by refusing to listen to my voice.

“‘ Because your men explored the land for forty days, you must wander in the wilderness for forty years— a year for each day, suffering the consequences of your sins. Then you will discover what it is like to have me for an enemy.’

Do this also on the seventh day of the new year for anyone who has sinned through error or ignorance. In this way, you will purify the Temple.
