Isaiah 1:4-6
English Standard Version
4 Ah, sinful nation,
a people laden with iniquity,
(A)offspring of evildoers,
children who deal corruptly!
They have forsaken the Lord,
they have (B)despised (C)the Holy One of Israel,
they are utterly (D)estranged.
5 Why will you still be (E)struck down?
Why will you (F)continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6 (G)From the sole of the foot even to the head,
there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores
and raw wounds;
they are (H)not pressed out or bound up
or softened with oil.
Isaiah 1:18-20
English Standard Version
18 “Come now, (A)let us reason[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as (B)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
19 (C)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;
(D)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
