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

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

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, and cleanse my hands with lye,

You can try to wash away your guilt with a strong detergent. You can use as much soap as you want. But the stain of your guilt is still there for me to see,” says the Lord GOD.

I maintain a pure lifestyle, so I can appear before your altar, O LORD,

If we say we do not bear the guilt of sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.

For ignoring the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking instead to establish their own righteousness, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.

“ Oh people of Jerusalem, purify your hearts from evil so that you may yet be delivered. How long will you continue to harbor up wicked schemes within you?

Wash! Cleanse yourselves! Remove your sinful deeds from my sight. Stop sinning!Learn to do what is right! Promote justice! Give the oppressed reason to celebrate! Take up the cause of the orphan! Defend the rights of the widow!Come, let’s consider your options,” says the LORD.“ Though your sins have stained you like the color red, you can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, you can become white like wool.

If my footsteps have strayed from the way, if my heart has gone after my eyes, or if anything has defiled my hands,

The one who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses them and forsakes them will find mercy.
