Isaiah 1:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

Jerusalem is guilty

²¹ Oh! Jerusalem! Once you loved the Lord, as a wife loves her husband. But now you have become like a prostitute! At one time, the city was full of justice, and honest people lived there. But now the city is full of murderers!

²² Your pure silver has become dirt. You have mixed water with your best wine.

²³ Your rulers have turned against God. They are friends of robbers. They all accept bribes and they love to receive gifts. But they do not help widows or children who have no family. They do not make sure that they receive justice.
