Isaiah 1:21
New American Standard Bible
Zion Corrupted; Will Be Redeemed
21 How the faithful city has become a (A)prostitute,
She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once dwelt in her,
But now murderers.
Isaiah 1:21
New International Version
Isaiah 57:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 On a (A)high and lofty mountain
You have (B)made your bed.
You also went up there to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
You have set up your sign;
Indeed, far removed from Me, you have (C)uncovered yourself,
And have gone up and made your bed wide.
And you have made an agreement for yourself with them,
You have loved their bed,
You have looked at their [a]manhood.
9 You have journeyed to the king with oil
And increased your perfumes;
You have (D)sent your messengers a great distance
And made them go down to [b]Sheol.

New International Version
7 You have made your bed on a high and lofty hill;(A)
there you went up to offer your sacrifices.(B)
8 Behind your doors and your doorposts
you have put your pagan symbols.
Forsaking me, you uncovered your bed,
you climbed into it and opened it wide;
you made a pact with those whose beds you love,(C)
and you looked with lust on their naked bodies.(D)
9 You went to Molek[a](E) with olive oil
and increased your perfumes.(F)
You sent your ambassadors[b](G) far away;
you descended to the very realm of the dead!(H)
