Isaiah 1:22-28

²²Thy silver is become dross; Thy wine is adulterated with water.

²³Thy princes are faithless, companions of thieves; Every one of them loveth gifts, and seeketh rewards; They render not justice to the fatherless, And the cause of the widow cometh not before them.

²⁴Wherefore, thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will ease me of mine adversaries, And avenge me of mine enemies.

²⁵And I will again turn my hand toward thee, And wholly purge away thy dross, And take away all thy alloy.

²⁶And I will restore thee judges, as at the first, And counsellors, as at the beginning. Then shalt thou be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

²⁷Through justice shall Zion be delivered, And her reformed sons through righteousness.

²⁸But destruction shall fall at once on the rebels and sinners; Yea, they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
