Isaiah 1:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²²Your silver has become dross,
    your wine mixed with water.
²³Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Every one loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the fatherless,
    and the widow’s cause does not come to them.

²⁴Therefore the Lord says,
    the Lord of hosts,
    the Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will vent my wrath on my enemies,
    and avenge myself on my foes.
