«Thus shalt thou say to the prophet, What hath the LORD answered thee? and, What hath the LORD spoken? / But since ye say, The burden of the LORD; therefore thus saith the LORD; Because ye say this word, The burden of the LORD, and I have sent unto you, saying, Ye shall not say, The burden of the LORD; / Therefore, behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you, and I will forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and cast you out of my presence: / And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.»

«Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time? / Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.»

«Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue; / Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth: / Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.»

«When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.»

«When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; / (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.»

«To abstain from sin when one can no longer sin is to be forsaken by sin, not to forsake it.»

«Those who forsake the True Guru, and attach themselves to duality - what will they do when they go to the world hereafter?»
