Isaiah 1:23-25
1599 Geneva Bible
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of [a]thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the widow’s cause come before them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord God of hosts, the [b]Mighty one of Israel, Ah, I will [c]ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
25 Then I will turn mine hand upon thee, and burn out thy dross, till it [d]be pure, and take away all thy tin.
