Repeated sin is not found in the home of the righteous. 7 The righteous thoroughly examine their homes to remove their unintentional offences. 8 They atone for sins of ignorance by fasting and humility and the Lord will cleanse every devout person and their household. 9 The sinners stumble and curse their life, the day of their birth and their mother's labor pain. 10 They sin repeatedly in their life: They fall, and are seriously hurt, they will never get up again.
