Deuteronomy 15:9

Deu. 15:9. "Sin unto thee." Sin here is put for calamity, misery, or ruin, because that is the consequence of sin. Thus the word sin is often used in Scripture. So Deuteronomy 24:15; Deuteronomy 23:21; Deuteronomy 23:22; 1 Kings 12:30; 1 Kings 13:13; 1 Kings 13:34; Psalms 109:7; Proverbs 10:16. So probably it is to be understood, Proverbs 24:9; see also Hosea 8:11. So iniquity is a word often used in like manner in Scripture to signify both sin and its punishment, both moral evil and natural evil, or misery and destruction.
