49:18 Look all around you! 3
All of them gather to you.
As surely as I live,” says the Lord,
“you will certainly wear all of them like jewelry;
you will put them on as if you were a bride.
64:6 We are all like one who is unclean,
all our so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in your sight. 4
We all wither like a leaf;
our sins carry us away like the wind.
