If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands ever so clean;

Who can understand his errors? cleanse me from secret faults.

I will wash my hands in innocence: so will I go about your altar, O LORD:

Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence.

For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord GOD.

When Pilate saw that he could gain nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see you to it.

Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Which stood only in foods and drinks, and various washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
