30 “‘But the soul that does something deliberately,*+ whether he is a native or an alien resident, he speaking abusively of Jehovah,+ in that case that soul must be cut off from among his people.+

12 Now the sons of Eʹli were good-for-nothing men;*+ they did not acknowledge Jehovah.+

17 And the sin of the attendants* came to be very great before Jehovah;+ for the men treated the offering of Jehovah with disrespect.+

30 “‘That is why the utterance of Jehovah the God of Israel is: “I did indeed say, As for your house and the house of your forefather, they will walk before me to time indefinite.”+ But now the utterance of Jehovah is: “It is unthinkable, on my part, because those honoring me+ I shall honor,+ and those despising me will be of little account.”+
