Isa 1:21 | MHM | STEP | The Degeneracy of Jerusalem; Reformation of the Church This passage describes how Jerusalem, once faithful and righteous, became corrupt and filled with injustice. God is deeply disappointed, but He also promises to bring change. He will remove those who do evil, restore true justice, and make the city honorable again. These words encourage us to value justice, honesty, and trust in God’s power to reform His people. v. 21 : Jerusalem is described as a “faithful city” that has now become unfaithful, like an adulteress. It used to be full of justice and righteousness, but now even murderers live there. This is very sad because the city’s good reputation makes its fall into sin even worse. When people or places that once did right become corrupt, their sins are even more serious (Luke 11:26; Ecclesiastes 3:16 ). Justice and honesty are no longer at home in Jerusalem.
