Isaiah 1:17-19

Contemporary English Version

¹⁷     and learn to live right.
See that justice is done.
Defend widows and orphans
    and help the oppressed.”^[a]

¹⁸ I, the Lord, invite you
    to come and talk it over.
Your sins are scarlet red,
but they will be whiter
    than snow or wool.
¹⁹ If you willingly obey me,
the best crops in the land
    will be yours.
