¹⁸ “Come now, and ^(A)let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“^(B)Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool.

4 ^(A)Listen to the word of the Lord, O sons of Israel,
For the Lord has a ^(B)case against the inhabitants of the land,
Because there is ^(C)no ^[a]faithfulness or ^[b]kindness
Or ^(D)knowledge of God in the land.

² The Lord also has a ^(A)dispute with Judah,
And will punish Jacob ^(B)according to his ways;
He will repay him according to his deeds.
