He calleth to the heavens above, And to the earth, that he may judge his people:
I will take no bullock out of thy house, Nor he-goats out of thy folds.
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.
I have seen thine abominations, even thine adulteries, and thy neighings, the lewdness of thy whoredom, on the hills in the field. Woe unto thee, O Jerusalem! thou wilt not be made clean; how long shall it yet be?
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye doubleminded.
