既而後悔、以所釋任意自由之奴婢、復使之歸、強之仍為奴婢、

But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.

But later they changed their minds. They took back the people they had set free. They made them slaves again.

But afterward they turned around and took back the male and female slaves they had set free, and brought them into subjection as slaves.

but later they changed their minds. They took back the men and women they had freed, forcing them to be slaves again.

But afterward they turned around and took back the male servants and the female servants whom they had set free, and brought them into subjection as male servants and as female servants.

But afterward they changed their minds and made the male and female slaves return, whom they had set free, and brought them into subjection as male and female slaves.

For if, having escaped the world’s impurity through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy command delivered to them.It has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to its own vomit, and,“ A washed sow returns to wallowing in the mud.”

As a dog returns to its vomit, so also a fool repeats his foolishness.

“ When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it roams through waterless places looking for rest but doesn’t find any.Then it says,‘ I’ll go back to my house that I came from.’ Returning, it finds the house vacant, swept, and put in order.Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and settle down there. As a result, that person’s last condition is worse than the first. That’s how it will also be with this evil generation.”

They turn, but not to what is above; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of their insolent tongue. They will be ridiculed for this in the land of Egypt.

and those who turn back from following the LORD, who do not seek the LORD or inquire of him.

Make an appeal to the LORD. There has been enough of God’s thunder and hail. I will let you go; you don’t need to stay any longer.”

Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said,“ Appeal to the LORD to remove the frogs from me and my people. Then I will let the people go and they can sacrifice to the LORD.”

Because the sentence against an evil act is not carried out quickly, the heart of people is filled with the desire to commit evil.

When a man finds his enemy, does he let him go unharmed? May the LORD repay you with good for what you’ve done for me today.

When Pharaoh saw that the rain, hail, and thunder had ceased, he sinned again and hardened his heart, he and his officials.So Pharaoh’s heart was hard, and he did not let the Israelites go, as the LORD had said through Moses.

But as for those who turn aside to crooked ways, the LORD will banish them with the evildoers. Peace be with Israel.

Saul listened to Jonathan’s advice and swore an oath:“ As surely as the LORD lives, David will not be killed.”So Jonathan summoned David and told him all these words. Then Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he served him as he did before.When war broke out again, David went out and fought against the Philistines. He defeated them with such great force that they fled from him.Now an evil spirit sent from the LORD came on Saul as he was sitting in his palace holding a spear. David was playing the lyre,and Saul tried to pin David to the wall with the spear. As the spear struck the wall, David eluded Saul, ran away, and escaped that night.Saul sent agents to David’s house to watch for him and kill him in the morning. But his wife Michal warned David,“ If you don’t escape tonight, you will be dead tomorrow!”

When he killed some of them, the rest began to seek him; they repented and searched for God.They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their Redeemer.But they deceived him with their mouths, they lied to him with their tongues,

The words from his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.

I will hand King Zedekiah of Judah and his officials over to their enemies, to those who intend to take their lives, to the king of Babylon’s army that is withdrawing.

Saul responded,“ I have sinned. Come back, my son David, I will never harm you again because today you considered my life precious. I have been a fool! I’ve committed a grave error.”

Pharaoh will say of the Israelites: They are wandering around the land in confusion; the wilderness has boxed them in.I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so that he will pursue them. Then I will receive glory by means of Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD.” So the Israelites did this.When the king of Egypt was told that the people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about the people and said,“ What have we done? We have released Israel from serving us.”So he got his chariot ready and took his troops with him;he took six hundred of the best chariots and all the rest of the chariots of Egypt, with officers in each one.The LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the Israelites, who were going out defiantly.The Egyptians— all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots, his horsemen, and his army— chased after them and caught up with them as they camped by the sea beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

But when Pharaoh saw there was relief, he hardened his heart and would not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

Pharaoh’s army had left Egypt, and when the Chaldeans, who were besieging Jerusalem, heard the report, they withdrew from Jerusalem.

What am I going to do with you, Ephraim? What am I going to do with you, Judah? Your love is like the morning mist and like the early dew that vanishes.

Please forgive my sin once more and make an appeal to the LORD your God, so that he will just take this death away from me.”Moses left Pharaoh’s presence and appealed to the LORD.Then the LORD changed the wind to a strong west wind, and it carried off the locusts and blew them into the Red Sea. Not a single locust was left in all the territory of Egypt.But the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the Israelites go.

Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?Because of your hardened and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed.
