Bible. Isaiah
23:001:017 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge
the fatherless, plead for the widow.
23:001:018 Come now, and let us reason 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.
23:001:019 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the
land:
23:001:020 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the
sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
23:001:021 How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of
judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
23:001:022 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23:001:023 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every
one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not
the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto
them.
23:001:024 Therefore 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:
23:001:025 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy
dross, and take away all thy tin:
23:001:026 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy
counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be
called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
23:001:027 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with
righteousness.
23:001:028 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners
shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be
consumed.
23:001:029 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired,
and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have
chosen.
23:001:030 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, and as a garden
that hath no water.
23:001:031 And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a
spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall
quench them.
23:002:001 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
23:002:002 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain
of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the
mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all
nations shall flow unto it.
23:002:003 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to
the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his
paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of
the LORD from Jerusalem.
