“Wo Unto Them That Draw Iniquity with Cords of Vanity”

"Isaiah condemned those who think they can give up one sin and yet cling tenaciously ot others. 'Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope' (Isa. 5:18). Occasionally we cut the 'cords of vanity' and let go of a favorite sin, but all too often we only periodically cast off from our cart a sin here and there rather than just letting go of the cart rope." (Brent L. Top, A Peculiar Treasure, 160 as taken from Commentaries on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, ed. by K. Douglas Bassett, [American Fork, UT: Covenant Publishing Co., 2003], 107)
