Isaiah 1:18-20

New Century Version

¹⁸ The Lord says,
    “Come, let us talk about these things.
Though your sins are like scarlet,
    they can be as white as snow.
Though your sins are deep red,
    they can be white like wool.
¹⁹ If you become willing and obey me,
    you will eat good crops from the land.
²⁰ But if you refuse to obey and if you turn against me,
    you will be destroyed by your enemies’ swords.”
The Lord himself said these things.
