Isaiah 1:17-22

¹⁷Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive for the widow.

¹⁸Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be!

¹⁹If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

²⁰And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, By the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.

²¹How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it with judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it — now murderers.

²²Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water.
