Bible verses about "restitution" | ACV

¹ And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from LORD. ² And again she bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. ³ And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought an offering to LORD of the fruit of the ground. ⁴ And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat of it. And LORD had respect to Abel and to his offering, ⁵ but he did not have respect to Cain and to his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. ⁶ And LORD said to Cain, Why are thou angry? And why has thy countenance fallen? ⁷ If thou do well, shall thou not be accepted? And if thou do not well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire shall be for thee, and thou shall rule over it. ⁸ And Cain told Abel his brother. And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and killed him. ⁹ And LORD said to Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not. Am I my brother's keeper? ¹⁰ And he said, What have thou done? The voice of thy brother's blood cries to me from the ground. ¹¹ And now cursed are thou from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. ¹² When thou till the ground, it shall not henceforth yield to thee its strength. A fugitive and a wanderer thou shall be on the earth. ¹³ And Cain said to LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. ¹⁴ Behold, thou have driven me out this day from the face of the ground, and I shall be hid from thy face, and I shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. And it shall come to pass, that whoever finds me shall slay me. ¹⁵ And LORD said to him, Therefore whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And LORD appointed a sign for Cain, lest any who finds him should smite him. ¹⁶ And Cain went out from the presence of LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. ¹⁷ And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived, and bore Enoch. And Cain built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son, Enoch. ¹⁸ And to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech. ¹⁹ And Lamech took to him two wives. The name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. ²⁰ And Adah bore Jabal. He was the father of such as dwell in tents and have cattle. ²¹ And his brother's name was Jubal. He was the father of all such as handle the harp and pipe. ²² And Zillah, she also bore Tubal-cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. And the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah. ²³ And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech. For I have killed a man for wounding me, and a young man for bruising me. ²⁴ If Cain shall be avenged seven fold, truly Lamech seventy-seven fold. ²⁵ And Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son, and called his name Seth. For, she said, God has appointed for me another seed instead of Abel, for Cain killed him. ²⁶ And to Seth, to him also there was born a son, and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of LORD.

And he will bless thee in the land which LORD thy God gives thee. ⁹ LORD will establish thee for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to thee, if thou shall keep the commandments of LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. ¹⁰ And all the peoples of the earth shall see that thou are called by the name of LORD, and they shall be afraid of thee. ¹¹ And LORD will make thee plenteous for good, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which LORD swore to thy fathers to give thee. ¹² LORD will open to thee his good treasure the heavens, to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand. And thou shall lend to many nations, and thou shall not borrow. ¹³ And LORD will make thee the head, and not the tail.

And they shall pursue thee until thou perish. ²³ And thy sky that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. ²⁴ LORD will make the rain of thy land powder and dust. From the sky it shall come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. ²⁵ LORD will cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies. Thou shall go out one way against them, and shall flee seven ways before them.

And thou shall not prosper in thy ways. And thou shall only be oppressed and robbed always, and there shall be none to save thee. ³⁰ Thou shall betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her. Thou shall build a house, and thou shall not dwell in it. Thou shall plant a vineyard, and shall not use the fruit of it. ³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shall not eat of it. Thy donkey shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee. Thy sheep shall be given to thine enemies, and thou shall have none to save thee. ³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given to another people. And thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day, and there shall be nothing in the power of thy hand. ³³ The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labors, shall a nation eat up which thou know not. And thou shall only be oppressed and crushed always, ³⁴ so that thou shall be mad because of the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ³⁵ LORD will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, of which thou cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot to the crown of thy head. ³⁶ LORD will bring thee, and thy king whom thou shall set over thee, to a nation that thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers. And there thou shall serve other gods, wood and stone. ³⁷ And thou shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the peoples where LORD shall lead thee away. ³⁸ Thou shall carry much seed out into the field, and shall gather little in, for the locust shall consume it. ³⁹ Thou shall plant vineyards and dress them, but thou shall neither drink of the wine, nor gather, for the worm shall eat them. ⁴⁰ Thou shall have olive trees throughout all thy borders, but thou shall not anoint thyself with the oil, for thine olive shall drop off. ⁴¹ Thou shall beget sons and daughters, but they shall not be thine, for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees and the fruit of thy ground shall the locust possess. ⁴³ The sojourner who is in the midst of thee shall mount up above thee higher and higher, and thou shall come down lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee, and thou shall not lend to him.

And he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he has destroyed thee. ⁴⁹ LORD will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the eagle flies, a nation whose tongue thou shall not understand, ⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, that shall not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young, ⁵¹ and shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, until thou be destroyed, that also shall not leave thee grain, new wine, or oil, the increase of thy cattle, or the young of thy flock, until they have caused thee to perish. ⁵² And they shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fortified walls come down, in which thou trusted, throughout all thy land.

And ye shall be plucked from off the land where thou go in to possess it. ⁶⁴ And LORD will scatter thee among all peoples, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. And there thou shall serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou nor thy fathers, even wood and stone. ⁶⁵ And among these nations thou shall find no ease, and there shall be no rest for the sole of thy foot, but LORD will give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and pining of soul. ⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee, and thou shall fear night and day, and shall have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou shall say, Would it were evening! and at evening thou shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of thy heart which thou shall fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shall see. ⁶⁸ And LORD will bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way of which I said to thee, Thou shall see it no more again.
