Isaiah 1:17-24

CAB(i) 17 learn to do well; diligently seek judgment, deliver him that is suffering wrong, plead for the orphan, and obtain justice for the widow. 18 And come, let us reason together, says the Lord; and though your sins be as purple, I will make them white as snow; and though they be as scarlet, I will make them white as wool. 19 And if you are willing, and hearken to Me, you shall eat the good of the land; 20 but if you be not willing, nor hearken to Me, a sword shall devour you; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this. 21 How has the faithful city of Zion, once full of judgment, become a harlot! Where righteousness lodged, but now murderers. 22 Your silver is worthless, your wine merchants mix the wine with water. 23 Your princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows. 24 Therefore thus says the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty men of Israel; for My wrath shall not cease against My adversaries, and I will execute judgment on My enemies.
