22 Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water. 23 Your rulers are rebels, And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe, And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow’s plea come before them. 24 Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel declares, “Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries, And avenge Myself on My foes. 25 “I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye, And will remove all your alloy.
