Sins mentioned in the Bible - 4

Mockery

Genesis 37:19 

“Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other.

Proverbs 17:5 

He who mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished.

Kidnapping

Genesis 37:27-28 

27 Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed.

28 So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.

1 Timothy 1:10 

For adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

Adultery

Genesis 38:13-18 

13 When Tamar was told, “Your father-in-law is on his way to Timnah to shear his sheep,” 

14 she took off her widow's clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguise herself, and then sat down at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that, though Shelah had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife.

15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. 

16 Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, “Come now, let me sleep with you.” “And what will you give me to sleep with you?” she asked.

17 “I'll send you a young goat from my flock,” he said. “Will you give me something as a pledge until you send it?” she asked.

18 He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.

1 Samuel 11:4 

When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and reported these terms to the people, they all wept aloud.
