76
If you keep my laws and commands," says the Lord, "you must not let your sins weigh you down or control you.
77
Those who are chained by their sins, overwhelmed by the evil they have done, are doomed. They will be like a field overgrown with brush, with the path across it so choked with thorns that no one can get through.
78
It is abandoned and doomed to be destroyed by fire."
