Isaiah 1:23 in Context — Isaiah 1

21 Como a cidade fiel se tornou uma prostituta! Ela estava cheia de juízo, justiça habitava nela; porém agora homicidas.

22 Tua prata se tornou em escórias; teu vinho se misturou com água.

23 Teus príncipes são rebeldes, e companheiros de ladrões; cada um deles ama os subornos, e perseguem recompensas; não fazem justiça ao órfão, e não chega perante eles a causa das viúvas.

24 Por isso diz o Senhor DEUS dos exércitos, o Poderoso de Israel: Ah, tomarei satisfações quanto aos meus adversários, e me vingarei de meus inimigos.

25 E tornarei minha minha mão contra ti, e purificarei por completo tuas escórias; e tirarei toda a tua impureza.
