16. Cast out all that obscures that fair, spacious and exalted temple of the living God, that building which you are! The workings of devilish influences and the power of idolatry have no room or footing here.I will walk in their midst, says God,I will dwell among them, (Lev. xxvi. 11-12)I will be their God, they shall be my people.
17. Therefore come out from the midst of them,Be separate, saith the Lord, (Is. lii. 11)Touch not the unclean thing.And I will accept you,
18. and will be to you a father,And you shall be my sons and daughters,Saith the Lord omnipotent. (II Sam. vii. 14)
