If you have prepared your heart, and spread out your hands toward Him;

if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.

I will wash my hands in innocence; thus I will go around Your altar, O Jehovah,

O Jerusalem, wash your heart from evil so that you may be saved. How long shall your vain thoughts lodge within you?

And now why are you waiting? Arise and be immersed, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilements of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

And I said to him, Sir, you know. So he said to me, These are the ones coming out of great affliction, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord Jehovah. Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity shall not be a stumbling block to you.

Cast away from you all the transgressions by which you have transgressed, and prepare for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit; for why will you die, O house of Israel?

Therefore say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Turn back to Me, says Jehovah of Hosts, and I will turn back to you, says Jehovah of Hosts.

Do not be as your fathers, to whom the former prophets have proclaimed, saying, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Turn back now from your evil ways and your evil doings. But they did not hear nor heed Me, says Jehovah.

Therefore bring forth fruits worthy of repentance,

that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,

and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,

looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Depart from evil and do good, and live forevermore.

Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah, the God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cleave to what is good.

Therefore, putting away lying, let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

nor give place to the devil.

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for the business of building up, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

Let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it.
