“I will declare your [hypocritical] righteousness and your deeds,
But they will not benefit you.

Both your own wickedness and the wickedness of your fathers,” says the Lord.
“Since they too have made offerings with incense on the mountains
And scorned and taunted Me on the hills,
I therefore will measure [punishment for] their former work [directly] into their arms.”

“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Get your evil deeds out of My sight.

Her leaders have caused Egypt to stagger in all that she does,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed;
And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn.
This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord.

For I, the Lord, love justice;
I hate robbery with a burnt offering.
And I will faithfully reward them,
And make an everlasting covenant with them.
