The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.

Abram replied to Sarai, “Here, your slave is in your power; do whatever you want with her.” Then Sarai mistreated her so much that she ran away from her.

He said, “If you will carefully obey the LORD your God, do what is right in his sight, pay attention to his commands, and keep all his statutes, I will not inflict any illnesses on you that I inflicted on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

But Aaron replied to Moses, “See, today they presented their sin offering and their burnt offering before the LORD. Since these things have happened to me, if I had eaten the sin offering today, would it have been acceptable in the LORD’s sight? ”

“Do what is right and good in the LORD’s sight, so that you may prosper and so that you may enter and possess the good land the LORD your God swore to give your ancestors,

“You are not to do as we are doing here today; everyone is doing whatever seems right in his own sight.

“Do not eat it, so that you and your children after you will prosper, because you will be doing what is right in the LORD’s sight.

“Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that you and your children after you may prosper forever, because you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.

“This will occur if you obey the LORD your God, keeping all his commands I am giving you today, doing what is right in the sight of the LORD your God.

“You must purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, for you will be doing what is right in the LORD’s sight.

You may do whatever seems best to you and your brothers with the rest of the silver and gold, according to the will of your God.

“Therefore, make a confession to the LORD, the God of your ancestors, and do his will. Separate yourselves from the surrounding peoples and your foreign wives.”

So their descendants went in and possessed the land:

You subdued the Canaanites who inhabited the land before them

and handed their kings and the surrounding peoples over to them,

to do as they pleased with them.

Its abundant harvest goes to the kings

you have set over us,

because of our sins.

They rule over our bodies

and our livestock as they please.

We are in great distress.

Doing what is righteous and just

is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.

He said, “Please, LORD, remember how I have walked before you faithfully and wholeheartedly, and have done what pleases you.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

“Instead, they followed the stubbornness of their hearts and followed the Baals as their ancestors taught them.”

“You did more evil than your ancestors. Look, each one of you was following the stubbornness of his evil heart, not obeying me.

“But they will say, ‘It’s hopeless. We will continue to follow our plans, and each of us will continue to act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’ ”
