22 “‘But though you should do the washing with alkali and take to yourself large quantities of lye,+ your error would certainly be a stain before me,’+ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah.

2 “But who will be putting up with the day of his coming,+ and who will be the one standing when he appears?+ For he will be like the fire of a refiner+ and like the lye+ of laundrymen.+
