Sins mentioned in the Bible

Failure in duty

Ezekiel 34:2-6 

2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who only take care of themselves! Should not shepherds take care of the flock? 

3 You eat the curds, clothe yourselves with the wool and slaughter the choice animals, but you do not take care of the flock. 

4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. You have ruled them harshly and brutally. 

5 So they were scattered because there was no shepherd, and when they were scattered they became food for all the wild animals. 

6 My sheep wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. They were scattered over the whole earth, and no one searched or looked for them.

Polluting house of God

Ezekiel 44:7 

In addition to all your other detestable practices, you brought foreigners uncircumcised in heart and flesh into my sanctuary, desecrating my temple while you offered me food, fat and blood, and you broke my covenant.

Desecrating holy vessels

Daniel 5:23 

Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in his hand your life and all your ways.

Eating sin offerings

Hosea 4:8 

They feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness.

Setting heart on sin

Hosea 4:8 

They feed on the sins of my people and relish their wickedness.
