Returning the Righteous City


Isaiah 1:21-27

How does a righteous city turn to sin?
When the government is ruling within;
Right decisions as given by the judges,
On cases brought forth with grudges.

But now the city being full of murders,
As harlots wait at all the street corners;
And silver is no longer as a true alloy,
Making money look and feel as a decoy.

Many chiefs have gone against the Lord,
As friends of thieves against His Word;
Decisions go not for the fatherless child,
While the mother allows him to go wild.

On this, God will find ways for to punish,
Whoever has sinned He will admonish;
And He will give judges just as before,
That shall reopen the righteous door.

The city shall be one of righteousness,
Upright acts as the price of forgiveness;
Ruled by a leader who believes in prayer,
As righteous people move back there.
