18  Come now, and let us ^areason together, saith 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.

  1  Keep silence before me, O islands; and let the people renew their strength: let them come near; then let them speak: let us come near ^ctogether to judgment.

  10  Wherefore, come ye unto it, and with him that cometh I will ^areason as with men in days of old, and I will show unto you my strong reasoning.
