Isaiah 1:20-22

Revised Standard Version

²⁰but if you refuse and rebel,
you shall be devoured by the sword;
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”

The Degenerate City

²¹How the faithful city
    has become a harlot,
    she that was full of justice!
Righteousness lodged in her,
    but now murderers.
²²Your silver has become dross,
    your wine mixed with water.
