22 For even if you are washed with soda and take much soap, still your evil-doing is marked before me, says the Lord God.

23 How are you able to say, I am not unclean, I have not gone after the Baals? see your way in the valley, be clear about what you have done: you are a quick-footed camel twisting her way in and out;
