Isaias
Hebrew Bible
Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904
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.
25 And I will bring back mine hand upon thee, and purge away as (with) lye thy dross, and take away all thine alloy:
26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called Citadel of righteousness, faithful city.
27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.
