Invitation to Debate
18 “Come now, and (G)let us [a]debate your case,”
Says the Lord,
“(H)Though your sins are as scarlet,
They shall become as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be like wool.
19 (I)If you are willing and obedient,
You will (J)eat the best of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You will be (K)devoured by the sword.”
For (L)the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
