⁴ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

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

⁹ I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

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

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