Isaiah 1:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove your evil deeds
    from before my eyes;
cease to do evil;^(A)
¹⁷    learn to do good;
seek justice;
    rescue the oppressed;
defend the orphan;
    plead for the widow.^(B)

¹⁸Come now, let us argue it out,
    says the Lord:
If your sins are like scarlet,
    will they become like snow?
If they are red like crimson,
    will they become like wool?^(C)
