This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Come now, and let us reason together; I am willing to lay aside my prerogative, and to submit the matter to a fair and equal trial, whether I do not deal justly in rejecting all your services, which are accompanied with such gross hypocrisy and wickedness, and whether I do not deal very graciously in offering mercy and pardon to you upon these conditions.
Though your sins be as scarlet, red and bloody, as theirs were, Isa_1:15, great and heinous,
they shall be as white as snow; they shall be washed and purged by the blood of the Messias, whereby you shall be made white and pure in God’s sight. It is a metonymical expression, as sins are said to be purged, Heb_1:3, when men are purged from their sins, Heb_9:14.
Shall be as wool; which for the most part is white, and is compared to snow for whiteness, Rev_1:14.
