If I washed myself in snow-water, and cleansed my hands clean;
For if thou shalt wash thyself with nitre, and thou shalt increase to thee cleansing, thine iniquity was graven before me, says the Lord Jehovah.
I will wash my hands in cleanness, and I will surround thine altar, O Jehovah:
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
For not knowing the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not been subjected to the justice of God.
O Jerusalem, wash from evil to thy heart so that thou shalt be saved. How long shall purposes of thy vanity lodge in the midst of thee?
He covering his transgression shall not prosper: but he confessing and forsaking, shall be compassionated.
If my going will incline from the way, and my heart went after mine eyes, and a blemish did cleave upon my hands:
Then thou wilt immerse me in the ditch, and my garments abhorred me.
For thou wilt say, What shall it profit to thee? what shall I profit from my sin?
Hide thy face from my sin, and wipe away all mine iniquities.
