Isaiah 1:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²²Your silver has become dross,
    your wine is mixed with water.
²³Your princes are rebels
    and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe
    and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan,

Ah, I will pour out my wrath on my enemies,
and avenge myself on my foes!
