Isaiah 1:21-25

²¹Howe is the faithfull citie become an harlot? it was full of iudgement, and iustice lodged therein, but now they are murtherers.

²²Thy siluer is become drosse: thy wine is mixt with water.

²³Thy Princes are rebellious and companions of theeues: euery one loueth giftes, and followeth after rewards: they iudge not the fatherlesse, neither doeth the widowes cause come before them.

²⁴Therefore sayth the Lord God of hostes, the mightie one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine aduersaries, and auenge me of mine enemies.

²⁵Then I will turne mine hand vpon thee, and burne out thy drosse, till it be pure, and take away all thy tinne.
