If I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手掌，

我若用雪水洗身，用碱洁净我的手掌，

即使我用雪水净身，用碱水洗手，

我若用雪水洗净我的身，又用碱水洁净我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手掌，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨我的手掌，

即使我用雪水淨身，用鹼水洗手，

我若用雪水洗淨我的身，又用鹼水潔淨我的手，

我若用雪水洗身，用鹼潔淨手掌，

我即以雪濯身、以鹼潔手、

即以雪水自洗、鹼水盥手。

我雖以雪水自濯、以鹼潔我手、

Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder,

Suppose I clean myself with soap. Suppose I wash my hands with cleanser.

Even if I were to wash myself with soap and clean my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I washed myself with snow, And cleansed my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,

If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,

If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

Though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, the stain of your guilt is still before me, declares the Lord God.

I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O Lord,

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

For, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

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

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.“ Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has stuck to my hands,

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
