¹⁰ that you may ^(A)distinguish between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean,

^26 (A)Her priests have ^[a]violated My law and ^(B)profaned My holy things; they have not ^(C)distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not ^(A)conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; ^15 (B)but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, ^(C)“Be holy, for I am holy.”

^47 (A)to distinguish between the unclean and the clean, and between the animal that may be eaten and the animal that may not be eaten.’ ”

^15 (A)To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

²³ “And ^(A)they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy, and cause them to ^(B)discern between the unclean and the clean.

The Lord Reassures Jeremiah

¹⁹ Therefore thus says the Lord:

^25 (A)You shall therefore distinguish between clean animals and unclean, between unclean birds and clean, ^(B)and you shall not make yourselves ^[a]abominable by beast or by bird, or by any kind of living thing that creeps on the ground, which I have separated from you as ^[b]unclean. ²⁶ And you shall be holy to Me, ^(C)for I the Lord am holy, and have separated you from the peoples, that you should be Mine.
