Job 9:30

American Standard Version 2015

If I wash myself with snow water,\par\tab And make my hands never so clean;

See the chapter Copy

For though thou wash thee with lye, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord Jehovah.

I will wash my hands in innocency:\par\tab So will I compass thine altar, O Jehovah;

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

For being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?

He that covereth his transgressions shall not prosper:\par\tab But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall obtain mercy.

If my step hath turned out of the way,\par\tab And my heart walked after mine eyes,\par\tab And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:

Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch,\par\tab And mine own clothes shall abhor me.

That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee?\par\tab {\i And}, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

Hide thy face from my sins,\par\tab And blot out all mine iniquities.
