Isaiah 1:21-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
The Degenerate City
21 How the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She that was full of justice,
righteousness lodged in her—
but now murderers!(A)
22 Your silver has become dross;
your wine is mixed with water.(B)
23 Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan,
and the widow’s cause does not come before them.(C)
