'Guilty' in the Bible

Israel was holy to the Lord,the firstfruits of His harvest.All who ate of it found themselves guilty;disaster came on them.”This is the Lord’s declaration.

Then the Lord said to me, "Under the circumstances, wayward Israel could even be considered less guilty than unfaithful Judah.

Your guilty acts have diverted these things from you.Your sins have withheld My bounty from you,

Jerusalem and the cities of Judah [being most guilty because their privileges were greatest], its kings and princes, to make them a horror, a ruin, a hissing and a curse, as it is to this day;

All who found them devoured them.Their adversaries said, “We’re not guilty;instead, they have sinned against the Lord,their righteous grazing land,the hope of their ancestors, the Lord.”
