Isaiah 1:21
Isaiah 1:21-23 The Message (MSG)
Oh! Can you believe it? The chaste city has become a whore! She was once all justice, everyone living as good neighbors, And now they’re all at one another’s throats. Your coins are all counterfeits. Your wine is watered down. Your leaders are turncoats who keep company with crooks. They sell themselves to the highest bidder and grab anything not nailed down. They never stand up for the homeless, never stick up for the defenseless.

How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
