Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, correct the oppressore judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 Come now, and let us confer together, saith the LORD; though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be eaten (by) the sword for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
21 How is the faithful city become an harlot! she (that) was full of judgment, righteousness lodged in her; but now murderers:
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine impaired with water:
23 Thy princes (are) rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one of them loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, ’doth the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore thus saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty one of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
