16Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil;
17learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18Come 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.
19If you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
20but if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.
21How is the faithful city become a prostitute! she who was full of justice! righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22Your silver is become dross, your wine mixed with water.
