18 “Come now, let’s settle this,”>> Read the whole chapter.
says the Lord.
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
I will make them as white as snow.
Though they are red like crimson,
I will make them as white as wool.
19 If you will only obey me,
you will have plenty to eat.
20 But if you turn away and refuse to listen,
you will be devoured by the sword of your enemies.
I, the Lord, have spoken!”
Isaiah 1:18-20
I have come to believe that by and large the human family has all the same secrets. – Fredrick Buechner

Better than Justice
This passage leaped off the page when I was flipping through the OT recently... How about it? Want to settle up and be made clean and have plenty to eat? Or keep having your own way, deal with your own sins, turn away, refuse to listen, and be devoured by your enemies (within and without)?
