³⁰ Even if I washed myself with soap^(A)
    and my hands^(B) with cleansing powder,^(C)

³¹ you would plunge me into a slime pit^(A)
    so that even my clothes would detest me.^(B)

⁹ Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;^(A)
    I am clean and without sin”?^(B)

²² Although you wash^(A) yourself with soap^(B)
    and use an abundance of cleansing powder,
    the stain of your guilt is still before me,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.^(C)
