Psalms 119:158 'I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word'
Grieved, because they kept not thy word. I never thought the world had been so wicked, when the Gospel began, as now I see it is; I rather hoped that every one would have leaped for joy to have found himself freed from the filth of the Pope, from his lamentable molestations of poor troubled consciences, and that through [the Lord Jesus] Christ they would by faith obtain the celestial treasure they sought after before with such vast cost and labour, though in vain. And especially I thought the bishops and universities would with joy of heart have received the true doctrines; but I have been lamentably deceived. Moses [Num. 11:10-11,14-15] and Jeremiah [Jer. 20:7-10], too, complained they had been deceived. — Martin Luther.

[*note: 'kept not thy word' - may be applied to not their personal i.e. sinful behaviours only, but to also the fact of their putting away of the true 'written word of God', which 'the transgressors' have not at all kept, but have exchanged for the untrue 'written words of men', in the form of the many so-called modern-versions - all corrupt, each having been destructively altered verse by verse throughout by corrupt men. Two men in particular Westcott and Hort are the founding fathers of the desecration, producing the first fake bible 1881, with every 'new version' to follow since thet day based upon it; - rest of story see: Westcott Hort vs. AV aka KJV]

Rev. 16:10-11 'And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
