Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool.
All the nations are assembled together, and the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things? Give their witnesses,and be justified; or hear and say, It is true.
And He said to them, You are the ones justifying yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts; for the thing highly prized among men is an abomination before God.
