Isaiah 1:23-25

Lexham English Bible

²³ Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Every one loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan
    and the legal dispute of the widow does not come before them.
²⁴ Therefore, the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel:
“Ah, I will be relieved of my enemies,
    and I will avenge myself on my foes.
²⁵ And I will turn my hand against you;
I will purify your dross like lye,
    and I will remove all of your tin.
