“Now come, and we settle this,” says YHWH, “If your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow, || If they are red as crimson, they will be as wool!”— Isaiah 1:18 (LSV)
15And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide My eyes from you, || Also when you increase prayer, I do not hear, || Your hands have been full of blood.
16Wash yourselves, make yourselves pure, || Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before My eyes, || Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
17Seek judgment, make the oppressed blessed, || Judge the fatherless, strive [for] the widow.
18Now come, and we settle this,” says YHWH, “If your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow, || If they are red as crimson, they will be as wool!
19If you are willing, and have listened, || The good of the land you consume,
20And if you refuse, and have rebelled, || You are consumed [by] the sword,” || For the mouth of YHWH has spoken.
21How has a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it [with] judgment, || Righteousness lodges in it—now murderers.
