Isaiah 1:23-25
New King James Version
Isaiah 1:23-25
New King James Version
23 (A)Your princes are rebellious,
And (B)companions of thieves;
(C)Everyone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They (D)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, (E)I will [a]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [b]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (F)thoroughly[c] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.

23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone (A)loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.

“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
(E)and avenge myself on my foes.
25 (F)I will turn my hand against you
