Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

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.

I have seen your adulteries, and your neighings, the lewdness of your harlotry, and your abominations on the hills in the fields. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! Will you not be made clean? How long will it still be?

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.

SAMECH: I hate the double-minded, but I love Your Law.

How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity; and those who scorn desire their scorning; and fools hate knowledge?

Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
