Isaiah 1:21-31

21See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!22Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.23Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.

24Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts,the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will be relieved of My foesand avenge Myself on My enemies.25I will turn My hand against you;I will thoroughly purge your dross;I will remove all your impurities.26I will restore your judges as at first,and your counselors as at the beginning.After that you will be called the City of Righteousness,the Faithful City.”
27Zion will be redeemed with justice,her repentant ones with righteousness.28But rebels and sinners will together be shattered,and those who forsake the LORD will perish.29Surely you will be ashamed of the sacred oaksin which you have delighted;you will be embarrassed by the gardensthat you have chosen.
30For you will become like an oak whose leaves are withered,like a garden without water.31The strong man will become tinderand his work will be a spark;both will burn together,with no one to quench the flames.
