Isaiah 1:15-20
English Standard Version
15 When you (A)spread out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
(B)even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
(C)your hands are full of blood.
16 (D)Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;
(E)cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good;
(F)seek justice,
correct oppression;
(G)bring justice to the fatherless,
plead the widow's cause.
18 “Come now, (H)let us reason[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as (I)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
19 (J)If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword;
(K)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
