Isaiah 1:21-31

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.

²⁷Zion shall be again-bought in doom, and they shall bring it again into rightfulness or rightwiseness;

²⁸and God shall all-break the cursed men and the sinners together, and they that forsake the Lord, shall be wasted.

²⁹For they shall be ashamed of the idols, to which they made sacrifice; and ye shall be ashamed on the orchards, which ye choosed.

³⁰When ye shall be as an oak, when the leaves fall down, and as an orchard without water.

³¹And your strength shall be as a dead spark of stubble, either of hards of flax, and your work shall be as a quick spark; and ever either shall be burnt together, and none shall be that shall quench.
