^25 (A)I will turn my hand against you
    and will smelt away your ^(B)dross as with lye
    and remove all your alloy.

    and use much soap,
    ^(A)the stain of your guilt is still before me,
declares the Lord God.

³⁰ He ^(A)delivers even the one who is not innocent,^[a]
    who will be delivered through ^(B)the cleanness of your hands.”
