¹⁸ “Come now, and let us ^(A)reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
^(B)They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.

^6 (A)Seek the Lord while He may be ^(B)found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
^7 (C)Let the ^[a]wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man ^(D)his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
^(E)And He will have mercy on him;
And to our God,
For He will abundantly pardon.
