Isaiah 1:17
World English Bible
Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 My soul hates your New Moons and your appointed feasts; they are a trouble to me; I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; yes, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17 learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us reason together, says Yahweh: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
