Isaiah 1:19-26

¹⁹If ye will, and hear me, ye shall eat the goods of the earth.

²⁰That if ye do not, and ye stir me to wrathfulness or wrath, sword shall devour you; for why the mouth of the Lord spake.

²¹How is the faithful city full of doom made an whore? rightfulness or rightwiseness dwelled therein; but now men-quellers dwell therein.

²²Thy silver is turned into dross, either filth; thy wine is meddled or mingled 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.

²⁴For this thing, saith the Lord God of hosts, the Strong of Israel, Alas! I shall be comforted on mine enemies, and I shall be avenged of mine enemies.

²⁵And I shall turn mine hand to thee, and I shall seethe out thy filth to the clean, and I shall do away all thy tin.

²⁶And I shall restore thy judges, as they were before, and thy counsellors, as in eld or old time. After these things thou shalt be called the city of the rightful or rightwise, a faithful city.
