TSK · Isaiah 59:14

The men of the city, the leaders and the nobles who lived there, followed the written orders Jezebel had sent them.

Those who are eager to do wrong draw near; they are far from your law.

Purifying Judgment How tragic that the once-faithful city has become a prostitute! She was once a center of justice, fairness resided in her, but now only murderers.

Beware, those who enact unjust policies, those who are always instituting unfair regulations,

Like a cage filled with the birds that have been caught, their houses are filled with the gains of their fraud and deceit. That is how they have gotten so rich and powerful.

whenever I want to heal Israel, the sin of Ephraim is revealed, and the evil deeds of Samaria are exposed. For they do what is wrong; thieves break into houses, and gangs rob people out in the streets.

Therefore, because you make the poor pay taxes on their crops and exact a grain tax from them, you will not live in the houses you built with chiseled stone, nor will you drink the wine from the fine vineyards you planted.

They are experts at doing evil; government officials and judges take bribes, prominent men announce what they wish and then they plan it out.

Jerusalem is Corrupt Beware to the filthy, stained city; the city filled with oppressors!
