¹⁶ “Wash^(A) yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
^(B)Cease to do evil,
¹⁷ Learn to do good;
Seek justice,
Rebuke ^[a]the oppressor;
^[b]Defend the fatherless,
Plead for the widow.

¹⁸ “Come now, and let us ^(C)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
^(D)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.
¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
^(E)For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.

² Now ^(B)it shall come to pass ^(C)in the latter days
^(D)That the mountain of the Lord’s house
Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
And shall be exalted above the hills;
And all nations shall flow to it.
³ Many people shall come and say,
^(E)“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
He will teach us His ways,
And we shall walk in His paths.”
^(F)For out of Zion shall go forth the law,
And the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
⁴ He shall judge between the nations,
And rebuke many people;
They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
And their spears into pruning ^[a]hooks;
Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
Neither shall they learn war anymore.

⁶ For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob,
Because they are filled ^(H)with eastern ways;
They are ^(I)soothsayers like the Philistines,
^(J)And they ^[b]are pleased with the children of foreigners.
^7 (K)Their land is also full of silver and gold,
And there is no end to their treasures;
Their land is also full of horses,
And there is no end to their chariots.
^8 (L)Their land is also full of idols;
They worship the work of their own hands,
That which their own fingers have made.
⁹ People bow down,
And each man humbles himself;
Therefore do not forgive them.

^10 (M)Enter into the rock, and hide in the dust,
From the terror of the Lord
And the glory of His majesty.
¹¹ The ^[c]lofty looks of man shall be ^(N)humbled,
The haughtiness of men shall be bowed down,
And the Lord alone shall be exalted ^(O)in that day.
