- "Come¹ now,²°¹ and let us reason together,ª° saithª° the LORD:ª though¹ your sinsª be¹ as scarlet,ª they shall be as whiteª° as snow;ª though¹ they be redª° like crimson,ª they shall be¹ as wool.ª" {Isa 1:18} + "Thou hast boughtª° me no¹ sweet caneª with money,ª neither¹ hast thou filledª° me with the fatª of thy sacrifices:ª but¹ thou hast made me to serveª° with thy sins,ª thou hast weariedª° me with thine iniquities.ª ... I,¹ [even] I,¹ [am] he¹ that blotteth outª° thy transgressionsª for mine own sake,¹ and will not¹ rememberª° thy sins.ª" {Isa 43:24-25} + "Yea,¹ thou heardestª° not;¹ yea,¹ thou knewestª° not;¹ yea,¹ from that time¹¹ [that] thine earª was not¹ opened:ª° for¹ I knewª° that thou wouldest deal very²° treacherously,ª° and wast calledª° a transgressorª° from the womb.ª¹ ...

[Is] Ephraimª my dearª son?ª [is he] a pleasantª child?ª for¹ sinceª¹ I spakeª° against him, I do earnestly²° rememberª° him still:¹ therefore¹¹ my bowelsª are troubledª° for him; I will surely²° have mercyª° upon him, saithª° the LORD.ª" {Jer 31:18-20} + "Nevertheless I¹ will rememberª°¹ my covenantª with¹ thee in the daysª of thy youth,ª and I will establishª° unto thee an everlastingª covenant.ª ...
