¹⁴ If you put far away the evil of your hands, and let no wrongdoing have a place in your tent;

²³ If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

⁷ Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?

⁵ Is not your evil-doing great? and there is no end to your sins.

³² ...

² I will do wisely in the way of righteousness: O when will you come to me? I will be walking in my house with a true heart.

¹⁵ And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.

³⁰ For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

³¹ Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel?

³ Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

⁴ And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

⁸ Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
