18. And then come, and accuse me, saith the Lord: if your sins be as scarlet, they shall be made as white as snow: and if they be red as crimson, they shall be white as wool,
19. if you be willing, and will hearken to me, you shall eat the good things of the land.
20. But if you will not, and will provoke me to wrath: the sword shall devour you because the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
21. How is the faithful city, that was full of judgment, become a harlot? justice dwelt in it, but now murderers.
22. Thy silver is turned into dress: thy wine is mingled with water.
23. Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves: they all love bribes, the run after rewards. They judge not for the fatherless: and the widow's cometh not in to them.
24. Therefore saith the Lord the God of hosts, the mighty one of Israel: Ah! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.
