  1. Isaiah 1:25 That is, against Jerusalem

23 Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Everyone (A)loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
(B)They do not bring justice to the fatherless,
    and the widow's cause does not come to them.

24 Therefore the (C)Lord declares,
    the Lord of hosts,
    the (D)Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will get relief from my enemies
    (E)and avenge myself on my foes.
25 (F)I will turn my hand against you
    and will smelt away your (G)dross as with lye
    and remove all your alloy.
26 And I will restore your judges (H)as at the first,
    and your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (I)you shall be called the city of righteousness,
    the faithful city.”

27 (J)Zion shall be redeemed by justice,

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.”

27 Zion will be (I)redeemed with justice
And her [c]repentant ones with righteousness.

  1. Isaiah 1:23 Or fatherless
  2. Isaiah 1:24 Heb YHWH, usually rendered Lord
  3. Isaiah 1:27 Or returning

23 Your princes are rebels,
    companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe and pursues gifts.
    They don’t defend the orphan,
    and the widow’s cause never reaches them.
24 Therefore, says the Lord God of heavenly forces,
    the mighty one of Israel:
Doom! I will vent my anger against my foes;
    I will take it out on my enemies,
25     and I will turn my hand against you.
I will refine your impurities as with lye,
    and remove all your cinders.
26 Then I will restore your judges as in earlier times,
    and your counselors as at the beginning.
After this you will be called Righteous City, Faithful Town.

27 Zion will be redeemed by justice,
    and those who change their lives by righteousness.

23 Your leaders have rejected me
    to become friends of crooks;
your rulers are looking
    for gifts and bribes.
Widows and orphans
    never get a fair trial.

24 I am the Lord All-Powerful,
the mighty ruler of Israel,
    and I make you a promise:
You are now my enemy,
and I will show my anger
    by taking revenge on you.
25 I will punish you terribly
    and burn away everything
that makes you unfit
    to worship me.
26 Jerusalem, I will choose
judges and advisors
    like those you had before.
Your new name will be
    “Justice and Faithfulness.”

The Lord Will Save Jerusalem

27 Jerusalem, you will be saved
    by showing justice;[a]
Zion's people who turn to me
will be saved
    by doing right.
