54:3.2

Good is the opposite of evil, and life is the opposite of death; so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.

The mourning of men is about their bodies; but the evil name of sinners will be blotted out.

Therefore don’t be like her or her works. For yet a little while, and iniquity will be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness will reign over us. Don’t let the sinner say that he has not sinned; for God will burn coals of fire on the head of one who says “I haven’t sinned before God and his glory.” Behold, the Lord knows all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts. He said, “Let the earth be made,” and it was made, “Let the sky be made,” and it was made. At his word, the stars were established, and he knows the number of the stars. He searches the deep and its treasures. He has measured the sea and what it contains. He has shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word, he hung the earth over the waters. He has spread out the sky like a vault. He has founded it over the waters. He has made springs of water in the desert and pools on the tops of the mountains to send out rivers from the heights to water the earth. He formed man, and put a heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding, yes, the spirit of God Almighty. He who made all things and searches out hidden things in hidden places, surely he knows your imagination, and what you think in your hearts. Woe to those who sin, and try to hide their sin! Because the Lord will exactly investigate all your works, and he will put you all to shame. When your sins are brought out before men, you will be ashamed, and your own iniquities will stand as your accusers in that day. What will you do? Or how will you hide your sins before God and his angels? Behold, God is the judge. Fear him! Stop sinning, and forget your iniquities, to never again commit them. So will God lead you out, and deliver you from all suffering.
