Incense is an abomination to me. The new moons and the Sabbaths and the other feast days, I will not receive. Your gatherings are iniquitous. |

| 18 ܘܬܘ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡ ܚ̈ܕܕܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܢ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܚ̈ܛܗܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܙܚܘܪܝܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܬܠܓܐ ܢܬܚܘܪܘܢ ܘܐܢ ܢܣܡܩܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܬܘܠܥܬܐ ܐܝܟ ܥܡܪܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ | 18 And then approach and accuse me, says the Lord. Then, if your sins are like scarlet, they shall be made white like snow; and if they are red like vermillion, they shall become white like wool. |
| 19 ܘܐܢ ܬܛܦܝܣܘܢ ܘܬܫܡܥܘܢܢܝ ܛܘܒܗ̇ ܕܐܪܥܐ ܬܐܟܠܘܢ | 19 If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land. |
| 20 ܘܐܢ ܠܐ ܬܛܦܝܣܘܢ ܘܬܬܚܪܘܢ ܒܚܪܒܐ ܬܬܐܟܠܘܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܠ | 20 But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. |

They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them. |
| 24 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡ̇ܪ ܡܪܐ ܡܪ̈ܘܬܐ ܚܝܠܬܢܐ ܥܫܝܢܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܝ ܡܬܦܪܥ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܣ̈ܢܐܝ ܘܡܬܢܩܡ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ | 24 Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries. |
| 25 ܘܐܦܢܐ ܐܝܕܝ ܥܠܝܟܝ ܘܐܨܪܘܦ ܡܪ̈ܘܕܝܟܝ ܠܕܟܝܘ ܘܐܥܒܪ ܥ̇ܘ̈ܠܝܟܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ | 25 And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin. |

| 27 ܨܗܝܘܢ ܒܕܝܢܐ ܬܬܦܪܩ ܘܫܒܝܬܗ̇ ܒܙܕܝܩܘܬܐ | 27 Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice. |
