Isaiah 1:16 Douay-Rheims

Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,

Gregory the Great

c. A.D. 540–604 Patristic

For he neglects being clean after washing, whosoever after tears keeps not innocency of life. And they therefore are washed, but are in no wise clean, who cease not to bewail the things they have committed, but commit again things to be bewailed. Hence it is said through Isaiah, Wash you, be ye clean.
