Job 9:30

²²For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me,” says the Lord GOD.

⁶I will wash my hands in innocence, so I will go about your altar, LORD,

⁸If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁷if my step has turned out of the way, if my heart walked after my eyes, if any defilement has stuck to my hands,

¹⁶Wash yourselves. Make yourself clean. Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes. Cease to do evil. ¹⁷Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow.” ¹⁸“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says the LORD: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

³For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

¹³He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

¹⁴Jerusalem, wash your heart from wickedness, that you may be saved. How long will your evil thoughts lodge within you?
