The verse 17 is found in chapter 1 of Isaiah. The accusation leads to a concrete call to repentance. Washing, cleansing, ceasing to do evil, seeking justice, and defending the vulnerable show that biblical conversion is not merely a matter of religious acts, but of ethical transformation. The promise to cleanse sin like snow contrasts with judgment upon the rebellious and establishes from the beginning the tension between purification and judgment that runs throughout Isaiah.

lernet Gutes tun, trachtet nach Recht, helfet dem Unterdrückten, schaffet dem Waisen Recht, führet der Witwe Sache.
Aprended a hacer bien: buscad juicio, restituid al agraviado, oíd en derecho al huérfano, amparad a la viuda.
aprendan a hacer el bien, busquen la justicia, corrijan al opresor, hagan justicia al huérfano, defiendan la causa de la viuda.
Apprenez à faire le bien, recherchez la justice, Protégez l'opprimé; Faites droit à l'orphelin, Défendez la veuve.
Restate di far male; imparate a far bene; cercate la dirittura, ridirizzate l’oppressato, fate ragione all’orfano, mantenete il diritto della vedova.
Aprendei a fazer bem; procurai o que é justo; ajudai o oprimido; fazei justiça ao órfão; tratai da causa das viúvas.
學習行善, 尋求公平, 幫助受欺壓的 , 替孤兒伸冤, 為寡婦辯護。」
