Isaiah 1:19-23

¹⁹If you really want this, and if you do as you're told, then you yourselves will eat the best things that the land produces.

²⁰But if you are defiant, and if you are rebellious, you'll be killed by the sword. This is what the Lord has declared!

²¹The city that used to be faithful has turned into a prostitute! Once she operated on principles of justice and followed what was right, but now only murderers live there.

²²Your silver has become worthless waste; you wine has been watered down.

²³Your leaders are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and want to get kickbacks. They don't defend the rights of orphans, and refuse to take cases to help widows.
