Isaiah 1:17-22

¹⁷Learn to do well: seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge for the fatherless, defend the widow.

¹⁸And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool.

¹⁹If you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.

²⁰But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

²¹How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.

²²Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
