not

release

your

sins

.

When

ye

stretch

forth

your

hands

,

I

will

turn

away

my

face

from

you

;

and

if

ye

multiply

prayers

,

I

will

not

hear

you

:

for

your

hands

are

full

of

blood

.

Wash

you

,

make

you

clean

;

take

away

the

wickedness

from

your

souls

from

the

sight

of

mine

eyes

;

cease

from

your

wickedness

;

learn

to

do

good

;

seek

judgment

;

keep

him

who

suffers

wrong

;

judge

for

the

orphan

,

and

justify

the

widow

.

And

come

,

let

us

reason

together

,

saith

the

Lord

:

and

although

your

sins

be

as

scarlet

,

I

will

whiten

them

as

snow

;

and

although

they

were

as

crimson

,

I

will

whiten

them

as

wool

.

And

if

ye

be

willing

and

listen

to

me

,

ye

shall

eat

of

the

good

of

the

land

;

but

if

ye

be

unwilling

,

and

will

not

hear

me

,

the

sword

shall

consume

you

;

for

the

mouth

of

the

Lord

hath

spoken

these

things

.
