Isaiah 1:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!
In context
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land.
20 But if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
21 See how the faithful city has become a harlot! She once was full of justice; righteousness resided within her, but now only murderers!
22 Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water.
23 Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.
