Isaiah 1:21-31 — The Unfaithful City
Isa.1.21-31
21How the faithful city has become a prostitute! She was full of justice; righteousness used to lodge in her, but now murderers! 22Your silver has become dross; your fine wine is diluted with water. 23Your rulers are rebels and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe and chases after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the widow's plea does not come before them. 24Therefore the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, declares: "Ah! I will get relief from my adversaries, and I will avenge myself on my enemies. 25I will turn my hand against you; I will smelt away your dross as with lye, and I will remove all your impurities. 26I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you will be called the City of Righteousness, the Faithful City." 27Zion will be redeemed by justice, and her repentant ones by righteousness. 28But rebels and sinners will be shattered together, and those who forsake Yahweh will perish. 29For they will be ashamed of the sacred oaks that you desired, and you will be disgraced because of the gardens that you chose. 30For you will be like an oak whose leaf withers, and like a garden that has no water. 31The strong man will become tinder, and his work a spark; both of them will burn together, and there will be no one to quench them.
