| − | * ''Verses 21-23 - A Political Apostacy''<br>
| + | |
| − | Judges, princes, and their counsellers are POLITICAL officers and in these verses the LORD makes it clear they are rebellious and more interested in gifts and bribes than in establishing justice and judgment [due process?] for the politically powerless widows and orphans. The parallelism in 22-23a suggests "princes" = "silver that has become dross". This theme is expanded in [[Isa 3:1]]-7, and [[Isa 3:12]]-15.
