in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Thus they will be My people, and I shall be their God,”’ declares the Lord God.”

They wandered, blind, in the streets;
They were defiled with blood
So that no one could touch their garments.

‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

You shall not have intercourse with your neighbor’s wife, to be defiled with her.

They shall not take a woman who is profaned by harlotry, nor shall they take a woman divorced from her husband; for he is holy to his God.

These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.
