14 The law of the wise one is a source* of life,+ to turn one away from the snares of death.+

9 The very expression of their faces* actually testifies against them,+ and of their sin like that of Sodʹom they do tell.+ They have not hidden [it]. Woe to their soul! For they have dealt out to themselves calamity.+

12 Did they feel shame because they had done even what was detestable?+ For one thing, they positively could not feel ashamed; for another thing, they did not know even how to feel humiliated.+

“‘Therefore they will fall among those who are falling. In the time of their being given attention,+ they will stumble,’ Jehovah has said.+

19 and their finish* is destruction,+ and their god is their belly,+ and their glory consists in their shame,+ and they have their minds upon things on the earth.+
