Washed away

The Lord also says:

Because the daughters of Zion are haughty,
walking with heads held high
and seductive eyes,
going along with prancing steps,
jingling their ankle bracelets,

ט TetHer uncleanness stains her skirts.
She never considered her end.
Her downfall was astonishing;
there was no one to comfort her.
Lord, look on my affliction,
for the enemy triumphs!

“I passed by you and saw you lying in your blood, and I said to you as you lay in your blood: Live! Yes, I said to you as you lay in your blood: Live!

I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you among the countries; I will purge your uncleanness.

I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

I will pardon their bloodguilt,

which I have not pardoned,
for the Lord dwells in Zion.

Woe to the city that is rebellious

and defiled,

the oppressive city!

Now Joshua was dressed with filthy clothes as he stood before the Angel.

“On that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the residents of Jerusalem, to wash away sin and impurity.

But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will be able to stand when He appears? For He will be like a refiner’s fire and like cleansing lye.

Have purged

Go, my people, enter your rooms
and close your doors behind you.
Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.

For the blood she shed is still within her.
She put it out on the bare rock;
she didn’t pour it on the ground
to cover it with dust.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem! She who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her. How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, yet you were not willing!

Go, my people, enter your rooms
and close your doors behind you.
Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.

For the blood she shed is still within her.
She put it out on the bare rock;
she didn’t pour it on the ground
to cover it with dust.

but the One who is coming after me is more powerful than I. I am not worthy to remove His sandals. He Himself will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
