Isa 1:16 · Douay-Rheims
“Wash yourselves, be clean, take away the evil of your devices from my eyes: cease to do perversely,”
On this verse:
“God saith to the sinner, "Wash you," &c., that he, finding his inability to "make" himself "clean," may cry to God, Wash me, cleanse me (Psa 51:2, Psa 51:7, Psa 51:10). before mine eyes--not mere outward reformation before man's eyes, who cannot, as God, see into the heart (Jer 32:19).”
