²² For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

¹⁷ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.

¹ The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;

¹² The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.

³⁴ Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

³⁰ If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

³¹ Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

⁸ Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.

³ If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

¹⁷ For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

⁷ The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
