The verse 21 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.

Wie geht das zu, daß die fromme Stadt zur Hure geworden ist? Sie war voll Rechts, Gerechtigkeit wohnte darin, nun aber Mörder.
¿Cómo te has tornado ramera, oh ciudad fiel? Llena estuvo de juicio, en ella habitó equidad; mas ahora, homicidas.
¡Cómo se ha convertido en prostituta la ciudad fiel! Estaba llena de justicia, la rectitud habitaba en ella, pero ahora hay asesinos.
Quoi donc! la cité fidèle est devenue une prostituée! Elle était remplie d'équité, la justice y habitait, Et maintenant il y a des assassins!
Come è la città fedele divenuta meretrice? ella era piena di dirittura; giustizia dimorava in essa; ma ora son tutti micidiali.
Como se fez prostituta a cidade fiel! Ela que estava cheia de retidão! A justiça habitava nela, mas agora homicidas.
忠信的城竟然變為妓女! 從前充滿了公平, 公義居在其中, 現今卻有兇手居住。
