Psalm 22:12
New International Version
Isaiah 1:21-23
New American Standard Bible 1995
Zion Corrupted, to Be Redeemed
21 How the faithful city has become a (A)harlot,
She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once lodged in her,
But now murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross,
Your drink diluted with water.
23 Your (B)rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone (C)loves a bribe
And chases after rewards.
They (D)do not [a]defend the [b]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

- Isaiah 1:23 Or vindicate
- Isaiah 1:23 Or fatherless

New International Version
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(A)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(B) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(C)
22 Your silver has become dross,(D)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(E)
partners with thieves;(F)
they all love bribes(G)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(H)
