¹⁴ If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

⁷ Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
