Isaiah 1:15-20 - ESV Online

ISAIAH 1:15-20

When you spread out your hands,

I will hide my eyes from you;

even though you make many prayers,

I will not listen;

your hands are full of blood. 16

Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;

remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;

cease to do evil, 17

learn to do good;

seek justice,

correct oppression;

bring justice to the fatherless,

plead the widow’s cause.
18

“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord:

though your sins are like scarlet,

they shall be as white as snow;

though they are red like crimson,

they shall become like 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 eaten by the sword;

for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
