Isaiah 1:16   "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Remove the evil of your deeds from My sight. Cease to do evil,
   
Isaiah 1:17   Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow.
     
   

"Let Us Reason"

Isaiah 1:19   "If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;
   
Isaiah 1:20   "But if you refuse and rebel, You will be devoured by the sword." Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Isaiah 1:22   Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.

Isaiah 1:30   For you will be like an oak whose leaf fades away Or as a garden that has no water.
   
Isaiah 1:31   The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.
