Isaiah 1:21-23
New International Version
21 See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!(A)
She once was full of justice;
righteousness(B) used to dwell in her—
but now murderers!(C)
22 Your silver has become dross,(D)
your choice wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels,(E)
partners with thieves;(F)
they all love bribes(G)
and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless;
the widow’s case does not come before them.(H)
Isaiah 1:21-23
Good News Translation
The Sinful City
21 The city that once was faithful is behaving like a whore! At one time it was filled with righteous people, but now only murderers remain. 22 Jerusalem, you were once like silver, but now you are worthless; you were like good wine, but now you are only water. 23 Your leaders are rebels and friends of thieves; they are always accepting gifts and bribes. They never defend orphans in court or listen when widows present their case.

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)
