Isaiah 1:16-18
International Children’s Bible

16 Wash yourselves and make yourselves clean.
    Stop doing the evil things I see you do.
Stop doing wrong!
17     Learn to do good.
Be fair to other people.
    Punish those who hurt others.
Help the orphans.
    Stand up for the rights of widows.”

18 The Lord says,
    “Come, we will talk these things over.
Your sins are red like deep red cloth.
    But they can be as white as snow.
Your sins are bright red.
    But you can be white like wool.
