Isaiah 1:21

19 If you are willing and obedient,
You shall eat the good of the land;
20 But if you refuse and rebel,
You shall be devoured by the sword”;
aFor the mouth of the Lord has spoken. 

The Degenerate City

21 aHow the faithful city has become a1 harlot!
It was full of justice;
Righteousness lodged in it,
But now bmurderers. 
22 aYour silver has become dross,
Your wine mixed with water. 
23 aYour princes are rebellious,
And bcompanions of thieves;
cEveryone loves bribes,
And follows after rewards.
They ddo not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
