Isaiah 1:18-20
New International Version
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(A)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(B)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(C)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(D)
you will eat the good things of the land;(E)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(F)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(G)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(H)
Isaiah 1:18-20
International Standard Version
18 “Please come,
and let’s reason together,” implores the Lord.
“Even though your[a] sins are like scarlet,
they’ll be white like snow.
Though they’re like crimson,[b]
they’ll become like wool.
19 If you’re willing and obedient,
you’ll eat the best that the land produces;
20 but[c] if you refuse and rebel,
you’ll be devoured by the sword,[d]
because the Lord[e] has spoken.”
