Isaiah 1:23-26
New American Standard Bible
23 Your (A)rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone (B)loves a bribe
And chases after gifts.
They (C)do not obtain justice for the [a]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s case come before them.
24 Therefore the Lord [b]God of armies,
The (D)Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will have satisfaction against My adversaries,
And (E)avenge Myself on My enemies.
25 I will also turn My hand against you,
And (F)smelt away your impurities as with lye;
And I will remove all your slag.
26 Then I will restore your (G)judges as at first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
After that you will be called the (H)city of righteousness,
A faithful city.”
