Come now, and 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 be like wool.
If you are willing and obedient,
you shall eat the good of the land,
but if you refuse and rebel, 
you will be devoured by the sword.
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. 
~ Isaiah 1:18-20 ~
