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 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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