Isaiah 1:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ This faithful town has become a prostitute!
She was full of justice;
    righteousness lived in her—
    but now murderers.
²² Your silver has become impure;
    your beer is diluted with water.
²³ Your princes are rebels,
    companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe and pursues gifts.
    They don’t defend the orphan,
    and the widow’s cause never reaches them.
