Isaiah 1:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”
In context
15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; even though you multiply your prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood.
16 Wash and cleanse yourselves. Remove your evil deeds from My sight. Stop doing evil!
17 Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”
18 “Come now, let us reason together,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are as red as crimson, they will become like wool.
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.
