Isaiah 1:23
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 Your rulers are rebels,
friends of thieves.(A)
They all love graft
and chase after bribes.(B)
They do not defend the rights of the fatherless,
and the widow’s case never comes before them.(C)
Isaiah 5:7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts
is the house of Israel,(A)
and the men[a] of Judah,
the plant He delighted in.
He looked for justice
but saw injustice,
for righteousness,
but heard cries of wretchedness.
