Make yourselves clean!
Put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes.
Cease to do evil,
learn to do good!
Seek justice!
Relieve the oppressed!
Defend the fatherless!
Plead, cry out on the widows behalf!
Stand up for the homeless!
Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord,
"Though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool!
If ye be willing and obedient,
ye shall eat the good of the land..."
-Isaiah 1: 16-19
