Isaiah 1:22-24

New Century Version

²² Jerusalem, you have become like the scum left when silver is purified;
    you are like wine mixed with water.
²³ Your rulers are rebels
    and friends of thieves.
They all accept money for doing wrong,
    and they are paid to cheat people.
They don’t seek justice for the orphans
    or listen to the widows’ needs.
²⁴ So the Lord God All-Powerful,
    the Mighty One of Israel, says:
“You, my enemies, will not cause me any more trouble.
    I will pay you back for what you did.
