Isaiah 1:16-18

Revised Standard Version

¹⁶Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your doings
    from before my eyes;
cease to do evil,
¹⁷    learn to do good;
seek justice,
    correct oppression;
defend the fatherless,
    plead for the widow.

¹⁸“Come now, let us reason together,
    says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
    they shall become like wool.
