Yea, she weeps, she washeth his feet, and wipeth them with the hairs of her head, to the confounding of Simon the pharisee, and all such ignorant hypocrites.

And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.

"He layeth his hand on the weary eyes They are closed and quiet now; And he wipeth away the dust of the day Which had settled on the brow. "And gently then he walketh away And sits in the corner chair; And the closed eyes swim it seemeth to him The form that once sat there.
Though men do say, we do disgrace Ourselves by lying here Among the rogues, yet Christ our face From all such filth will clear.

'She wipeth her mouth and saith, I have done no harm': was she, therefore, chaste and pure? In all our hearts there are many vermin lurking beneath the stones, and they are none the less poisonous because they live and multiply in the dark. 'I know nothing against myself, yet am I not hereby justified. But he that judgeth me is the Lord.

He was also cruel and tyrannical, and shed much innocent blood; wherefore, for these and other infamous sins, the Lord, through the mouth of the prophets, declared that “he would wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish,” and would deliver the people into the hands of their enemies.
"He layeth his hand on the weary eyes They are closed and quiet now; And he wipeth away the dust of the day Which had settled on the brow. "And gently then he walketh away And sits in the corner chair; And the closed eyes swim it seemeth to him The form that once sat there.
