Though you should wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, [still] you are stained by your iniquities before Me, says the Lord.

In vain have I smitten your children; you have not received correction. A sword has devoured your prophets as a destroying lion; yet you feared not.

O Lord, Your eyes are upon faithfulness. You have scourged them, but they have not grieved; You have consumed them; but they would not receive correction. They have made their faces harder than a rock; and they would not return.

The bellows have failed from the fire, the lead has failed. The silversmith works at his trade in vain; their wickedness is not consumed.

Call them reprobate silver, because the Lord has rejected them.

The heart is deep beyond all things, and it constitutes the man, and who can know him?

Though you scourge a fool, disgracing him in the midst of the council, you will [still] in no way remove his folly from him.

Why should you be smitten anymore, transgressing more and more? The whole head is pained, and the whole heart sad.

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than [for] a rich [man] to enter the kingdom of God."

And looking on [them], Jesus said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

So Jesus said to them, "Assuredly I say to you, that in the Regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on His glorious throne, you who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Everyone will mock his friend; they will not speak truth; their tongue has learned to speak falsehoods; they have committed iniquity, they ceased not, so as to return.
