I was just reading Isaiah 1:21-23 and I began to feel so sad and wanted to cry. God's people, the Israelites, were making Him sad. He wanted to have a personal relationship with His people, but they didn't want anything to do with Him.
Jerusalem was once so faithful-now they became like a prostitute.
Once the home of justice and righteousness-now filled with murderers.
Once like pure silver, now they had become like worthless dross.
Once they were pure-then they became like watered-down wine.
Its leaders were all rebels and companions of thieves. They all took bribes and refused to defend the orphans and widows.
Can't you hear the sadness and pain in these words?
