Isaiah 1:23-25

New International Version

²³ Your rulers are rebels,^(A)
    partners with thieves;^(B)
they all love bribes^(C)
    and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
    the widow’s case does not come before them.^(D)

²⁴ Therefore the Lord, the Lord Almighty,
    the Mighty One^(E) of Israel, declares:
“Ah! I will vent my wrath on my foes
    and avenge^(F) myself on my enemies.^(G)
25 I will turn my hand against you;^[a](H)
    I will thoroughly purge^(I) away your dross^(J)
    and remove all your impurities.^(K)
