Which scripture commands us to show our people their sins?

The passage from Isaiah 58:1 clearly instructs individuals to "cry aloud, spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." This verse emphasizes the importance of addressing wrongdoing among the people, promoting awareness and accountability for sins. It underscores a prophetic role where one is called to actively reveal and confront the shortcomings of their community, ensuring that they understand their actions in relation to God’s commandments.

In contrast, other verses do not directly issue a command for revealing sins in the same explicit manner. Jeremiah 12:9 and Romans 7:14 discuss themes related to God's judgment and the nature of the law, respectively, but they do not make a specific command about showing sins. Zephaniah 1:8 speaks about judgment and the day of the Lord but does not provide the same call to action regarding the correction of sin among the people. Thus, Isaiah 58:1 stands out as the authoritative directive for this action.
