21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
22 Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23 Thy princes are rebellious and companions of thieves; every one loves bribes and follows after rewards; they do not hear the fatherless in judgment, neither does the cause of the widow come unto them.
24 Therefore saith the Lord, the Lord of the hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease myself of my adversaries and avenge myself of my enemies;
25 and I will turn my hand upon thee and according to pureness purge away thy dross and take away all thy tin;
26 and I will restore thy judges as at the first and thy counsellors as at the beginning; afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, the faithful city.
27 Zion shall be ransomed with judgment and her converts with righteousness.
