Isaiah 1:18-20
EasyEnglish Bible
18 The Lord says, ‘Please come, so that we talk about this together. Even if your sins are like a red stain, they will become as white as snow. Even if they are bright red, they will become like white wool.[a]
19 I will forgive you if you agree to obey me. If you are ready to do that, you will again eat plenty of good food from the land. 20 But if you refuse to obey me and you turn against me, you will die in war.’
That is what the Lord himself has said.

- 1:18 God is saying that he will forgive them, even if their sins are very bad. A stain is a strong mark that spoils something that is nice.
Isaiah 1:18-20
New International Version
18 “Come now, let us settle the matter,”(A)
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;(B)
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.(C)
19 If you are willing and obedient,(D)
you will eat the good things of the land;(E)
20 but if you resist and rebel,(F)
you will be devoured by the sword.”(G)
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.(H)
