5 “‘Now in case a soul+ sins in that he has heard public cursing*+ and he is a witness or he has seen it or has come to know of it, if he does not report+ it, then he must answer for his error.

22 And Eʹli was very old, and he had heard+ of all that his sons kept doing+ to all Israel and how they would lie down with the women+ that were serving* at the entrance of the tent of meeting.*+

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin;+ but now they have no excuse for their sin.+

17 Therefore, if one knows how to do what is right and yet does not do it,+ it is a sin+ for him.
