  1. 19If you are willing and obedient,

    for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it.”

    but now there are murderers.
  4. 22Your silver has become dross,
    your wine mixed with water.
  5. 23Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves.
    Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards.
    They don’t defend the fatherless,
    neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
