17Learn to do well.Seek justice.Relieve the oppressed.Defend the fatherless.Plead for the widow.” 18“Come now, and let’s reason together,” says Yahweh:“Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19If you are willing and obedient,you will eat the good of the land; 20but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword;for Yahweh’s mouth has spoken it.” 21How the faithful city has become a prostitute!She was full of justice.Righteousness lodged in her,but now there are murderers.
