19. If you are willing and obedient,You shall eat the good of the land;
20. But if you refuse and rebel,You shall be devoured by the sword”;For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
21. How the faithful city has become a harlot!It was full of justice;Righteousness lodged in it,But now murderers.
22. Your silver has become dross,Your wine mixed with water.
23. Your princes are rebellious,And companions of thieves;Everyone loves bribes,And follows after rewards.They do not defend the fatherless,Nor does the cause of the widow come before them.
