Isaiah 1:20-24

But if you are defiant, and if you are rebellious, you'll be killed by the sword. This is what the Lord has declared!

The city that used to be faithful has turned into a prostitute! Once she operated on principles of justice and followed what was right, but now only murderers live there.

Your silver has become worthless waste; you wine has been watered down.

Your leaders are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and want to get kickbacks. They don't defend the rights of orphans, and refuse to take cases to help widows.

So this is what the Lord says, the Lord Almighty, the Mighty One of Israel: Ha! I will take satisfaction in punishing my enemies, by paying back those who hate me!
