Isaiah 1:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
    remove the evil of your doings
    from before my eyes;
cease to do evil,
¹⁷    learn to do good;
seek justice,
    rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
    plead for the widow.

¹⁸Come now, let us argue it out,
    says the Lord:
though your sins are like scarlet,
    they shall be like snow;
though they are red like crimson,
    they shall become like wool.
