16. Wash yourselves clean. Stop all this evil that I see you doing. Yes, stop doing evil
17. and learn to do right. See that justice is done — help those who are oppressed, give orphans their rights, and defend widows.”
18. The Lord says, “Now, let's settle the matter. You are stained red with sin, but I will wash you as clean as snow. Although your stains are deep red, you will be as white as wool.
19. If you will only obey me, you will eat the good things the land produces.
20. But if you defy me, you are doomed to die. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
