Isaiah:1:17-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Learn to do good ;
Seek justice ,
Rebuke the oppressor ;
Defend the fatherless ,
Plead for the widow .
* "
Come now ,
and let us reason together ,"
Says the LORD , "
Though your sins are like scarlet ,
They shall be as white as snow ;
Though they are red like crimson ,
They shall be as wool .
*
If you are willing and obedient ,
You shall eat the good of the land ;
*
But if you refuse and rebel ,
You shall be devoured by the sword ";
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken .
*
How the faithful city has become a harlot !
It was full of justice ;
Righteousness lodged in it ,
But now murderers .
*
Your silver has become dross ,
Your wine mixed with water .
*
Your princes are rebellious ,
And companions of thieves ;
Everyone loves bribes ,
And follows after rewards .
They do not defend the fatherless ,
Nor does the cause of the widow come before them .
*
Therefore the Lord says ,
The LORD of hosts ,
the Mighty One of Israel , "
Ah ,
I will rid Myself of My adversaries ,
And take vengeance on My enemies .
