Verse
Isaiah - ch 1 v 21 - 31
- How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.
- Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:
- thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.
- Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
- And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
- and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.
- Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
- But the ruin of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together; and they that forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.
- For they shall be ashamed of the terebinths that ye have desired, and ye shall blush for the gardens that ye have chosen.
- For ye shall be as a terebinth whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden that hath no water.
- And the strong shall be for tow, and his work a spark; and they shall both burn together, and there shall be none to quench them.
