Isaiah 1:25; Jeremiah 2:22; Job 22:30

25  zI will turn my hand against you

and will smelt away your adross as with lye

and remove all your alloy.


22  Though you wash yourself with lye

and use much soap,

jthe stain of your guilt is still before me,

declares the Lord God.


30  He pdelivers even the one who is not innocent,

who will be delivered through qthe cleanness of your hands.
