19. If you are willing, and you listen to me, then you will eat the good things of the land.
20. But if you are not willing, and you provoke me to anger, then the sword will devour you. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.
21. How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.
22. Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.
23. Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow's case is not brought before them.
24. Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.
