Isaiah 59:12-15
English Standard Version
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
(A)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
Judgment and Redemption
14 (B)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.

Isaiah 1:18-21
English Standard Version
18 “Come now, (A)let us reason[a] together, says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as (B)white as snow;
though they are red like crimson,
they shall become like wool.
19 (C)If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be eaten by the sword;
(D)for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
The Unfaithful City
21 How the faithful city
(E)has become a whore,[b]
(F)she who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.

4 And Jesus answered them, (A)“See that no one leads you astray. 5 For (B)many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am (C)the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you (D)are not alarmed, for this (E)must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For (F)nation will rise against nation, and (G)kingdom against kingdom, and there will be (H)famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are but the beginning of (I)the birth pains.
