“Come now, and let’s reason together,”
says the LORD: “Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land; but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.”
How the faithful city has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice.
Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
