Come now, and let us reason 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.
"Come now, let's talk this through together," says the LORD. "Even though your sins are blood-red like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. Even though they are deep red like crimson, I will make them as clean as white wool."
God is inviting His people to come and discuss their relationship with Him, promising that no matter how deep their sins are, He can completely cleanse and forgive them.
