Isaiah 9

It took me almost 5 minutes to read this chapter.
Throughout scripture God calls on His people to tend to the needs of orphans and widows.(Deuteronomy 24:17, 26:12, Psalm 82:3, James 1:27) Yet in verse 17 God seems to be changing His nature. He will not look in compassion on Israel's orphans and widows. But God explains this change of heart; in the same verse. The widows and orphans whom God was watching over, they pervert justice, and speak evil. Though God desires to give generously to the oppressed, when they reject Him, He will eventually reject them as well. God did not change His nature. On the contrary he held fast to the justice of His nature.
