New American Standard Bible
Invitation to Debate
18 “Come now, and (A)let us [a]debate your case,”
Says the Lord,
“(B)Though your sins are as scarlet,
They shall become as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be like wool.
19 (C)If you are willing and obedient,
You will (D)eat the best of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You will be (E)devoured by the sword.”
For (F)the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

New Living Translation
18 “Come now, let’s settle this,”
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
I will make them as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
I will make them as white as wool.
19 If you will only obey me,
you will have plenty to eat.
20 But if you turn away and refuse to listen,
you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
