Isaiah 1:21-24

21How the faithful city has become a 1prostitute, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once dwelt in her, But now murderers.22Your silver has become 2waste matter, Your drink diluted with water.23Your 3rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone 4loves a bribe And chases after gifts. They 5do not obtain justice for the 6orphan, Nor does the widow’s case come before them.

24Therefore the Lord 7God of armies, The 8Mighty One of Israel, declares, “Ah, I will have satisfaction against My adversaries, And 9avenge Myself on My enemies.
