Job 9:30

“If I should wash myself with snow
And cleanse my hands with lye,

“Although you wash yourself with lye
And use much soap,
The stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord God.

“If my step has turned from the way,
Or my heart followed my eyes,
Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,

I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.
Cease to do evil,

Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked thoughts
Lodge within you?

For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

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

I shall wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go about Your altar, O Lord,

He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;

Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight.

Cease to do evil,

“Although you wash yourself with lye
And use much soap,
The stain of your iniquity is before Me,” declares the Lord God.

Wash your heart from evil, O Jerusalem,
That you may be saved.
How long will your wicked thoughts
Lodge within you?
