Isaiah 1:16-23

“Wash yourselves. Cleanse yourselves.  Remove your evil deeds from my sight. Stop doing evil.  Learn to do what is good. Pursue justice.  Correct the oppressor.  Defend the rights of the fatherless. Plead the widow’s cause. “Come, let’s settle this,”  says the LORD. “Though your sins are scarlet, they will be as white as snow;  though they are crimson red, they will be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.  But if you refuse and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.”  For the mouth of the  LORD has spoken.  The faithful town — what an adulteress  she has become! She was once full of justice. Righteousness once dwelt in her, but now, murderers! Your silver has become dross to be discarded, your beer  is diluted with water. Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves.  They all love graft and chase after bribes.  They do not defend the rights of the fatherless, and the widow’s case never comes before them.
