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.”
