Isaiah 1:21-26

Isaiah 1:21-26

[21] How is the faithful  city  become an harlot!  of judgment;  righteousness  lodged  in it; but now murderers.  [22] Thy silver  is become dross,  thy wine  mixed  with water:  [23] Thy princes  are rebellious,  and companions  of thieves:  every one loveth  gifts,  and followeth  after rewards:  they judge  not the fatherless,  neither doth the cause  of the widow  come  unto them. [24] Therefore saith  the Lord,  the LORD  of hosts,  the mighty One  of Israel,  Ah,  I will ease  me of mine adversaries,  and avenge  me of mine enemies:  [25] And I will turn  my hand  purge away  thy dross,  and take away  all thy tin:  [26] And I will restore  thy judges  as at the first,  and thy counsellors  as at the beginning:  afterward  thou shalt be called,  The city  of righteousness,  the faithful  city.
