Isaiah 1:21
World English Bible (WEB)
How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
In context
19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land;
20 but if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured with the sword; for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.”
21 How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice. Righteousness lodged in her, but now there are murderers.
22 Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
23 Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
