TSK · Acts 13:39

Although I am innocent, my mouth would condemn me; although I am blameless, it would declare me perverse.

Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.

It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I delivered them from Egypt. For they violated that covenant, even though I was like a faithful husband to them,” says the LORD.
