The Invitation of Our Lord

Isaiah 1:16-20 (Lowth's Translation)
Wash ye, make ye clean; remove ye far away
The evil of your doings from before Mine eyes:
Cease to do evil; learn to do well;
Seek judgment; amend that which is corrupted;
Do justice to the fatherless; defend the cause of the widow.
Come on now, and let us plead together, saith Jehovah:
Tho your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
Tho they be red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
If ye shall be willing and obedient,
Ye shall feed on the good of the land;
But if ye refuse, and be rebellious,
Ye shall be food for the sword of the enemy:
For the mouth of Jehovah hath pronounced it.
