Isaiah 1:21-23
International Standard Version
Diagnosis and Judgment
21 “How the faithful city
has become a whore,
she who used to be filled with justice!
Righteousness used to reside within her,
but now only murderers live there.
22 Your silver has[a] become dross,
your best wine is diluted with water.
23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
All of them are lovers of[b] bribes
and are runners[c] after gifts.
They don’t bring justice to orphans,[d]
and the widow’s case never comes up for review in their court.”[e]
