Isaiah 1:
21
Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot!
Matthew 5:
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven.

....It was full of judgment;

1 John 4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this:
that we may have boldness in the day of judgment;
because as He is, so we must be in this world.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

....Righteousness lodged in it'
1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and do not sin;
for some have not the knowledge of God.
I speak this to your shame.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

....but now murderers.

1 John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer,
and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:

2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves:
Everyone loves gifts, and followers after rewards:
they judge not the fatherless, neither does
the cause of the widow comes unto them.

James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their trouble,
and
to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, the mighty One of Israel,
Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:

Luke 18:
7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him,
though He bears long with them?

8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless,
when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely
purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved,
let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

26 And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment,
and her converts with righteousness.

1 Corinthians 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us
wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

28 And the destruction of the transgressors
and of the sinners shall be together, and they
that forsake the Lord shall be consumed.

Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,
And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,
And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,
And those who fear Your name, small and great,
And should destroy those who destroy the earth.
