Isaiah 1:21-24

The Unfaithful City

21 How the faithful city
^ahas become a whore, ^{▼▼Or become unchaste}
^cshe who was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
but now murderers.
22 ^dYour silver has become dross,
your best wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone ^eloves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
^fThey do not bring justice to the fatherless,
and the widow’s cause does not come to them.
24 Therefore the ^gLord declares,
the Lord of hosts,
the ^hMighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
ⁱand avenge myself on my foes.
