¹⁸ Come now, and let us reason together,
    says the Lord.
Though your sins be as scarlet,
    they shall be as white as snow;
though they be 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 with the sword;
    for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.
