Isaiah 1:21-23

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²¹ How the faithful city
    has become a harlot,
    she that was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
    but now murderers.
²² Your silver has become dross,
    your wine mixed with water.
²³ Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Every one loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the fatherless,
    and the widow’s cause does not come to them.
