              against the Lord thy God.” “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and
            
            
              just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteous-
            
            
              ness.”

              cloud, thy sins: return unto Me; for I have redeemed thee.”

              your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they
            
            
              be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and
            
            
              obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.”

              kindness have I drawn thee.” “I hid My face from thee for a moment;
            
            
              but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee.”
