Isaiah 1:22-24

New American Standard Bible 1995

²²Your silver has become dross,
Your drink diluted with water.
²³Your ^(A)rulers are rebels
And companions of thieves;
Everyone ^(B)loves a bribe
And chases after rewards.
They ^(C)do not ^[a]defend the ^[b]orphan,
Nor does the widow’s plea come before them.

²⁴Therefore the Lord ^[c]God of hosts,
The ^(D)Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries
And ^(E)avenge Myself on My foes.
