Isaiah 1:23-25

Christian Standard Bible

²³Your rulers are rebels,
friends of thieves.^(A)
They all love graft
and chase after bribes.^(B)
They do not defend the rights of the fatherless,
and the widow’s case never comes before them.^(C)

²⁴Therefore the Lord God of Armies,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will get even with my foes;
I will take revenge against my enemies.^(D)
²⁵I will turn my hand against you^(E)
and will burn away your dross completely;^[a]
I will remove all your impurities.^(F)
