Isaiah 1:19-23

¹⁹If ye will, and hear me, ye shall eat the goods of the earth. (If ye be willing, and obey me, then ye shall eat the good things of the earth.)

²⁰That if ye do not, and ye stir me to wrathfulness, (the) sword shall devour you; for why the mouth of the Lord spake. (But if ye do not, and ye stir me to anger, the sword shall devour you; for the Lord hath spoken.)

²¹How is the faithful city full of doom made an whore? rightfulness dwelled therein; but now men-quellers dwell therein. (How the faithful city is made like a whore! Once it was full of justice, and righteousness lived there or and the righteous lived there; but now only murderers (live there)!)

²²Thy silver is turned into dross, either filth; thy wine is meddled with water (or thy wine is mixed with water).

²³Thy princes be unfaithful, the fellows of thieves; all love gifts, and follow yieldings, either meeds; they deem not to a fatherless child, and the cause of a widow entereth not to them. (Thy leaders be unfaithful, the friends of thieves; all of them love gifts, and follow after bribes,or rewards; they do not judge favourably for a fatherless child, and a widow’s case never even cometh before them.)
