Isaiah 1:22-24
International Children’s Bible
22 Jerusalem, you have become like the scum left when silver is purified.
You are like wine mixed with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels.
They are friends of thieves.
They all accept money for doing wrong things.
They are paid to cheat people.
They don’t try to help the orphans.
And they don’t listen to the widows’ needs.
24 The Master, the Lord of heaven’s armies,
the Mighty One of Israel, says:
“You, my enemies, will not cause me any more trouble.
I will pay you back for what you did.
Isaiah 1:22-24
New King James Version
22 (A)Your silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water.
23 (B)Your princes are rebellious,
And (C)companions of thieves;
(D)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (E)do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (F)I will [a]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [b]take vengeance on My enemies.
