23 Your princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves.Everyone loves bribes, and follows after rewards.They don’t judge the fatherless,neither does the cause of the widow come to them.
24 Therefore the Lord, the Lord of Hosts,the Mighty One of Israel, says:“Ah, I will get relief from my adversaries,and avenge myself on my enemies;
25 and I will turn my hand on you,thoroughly purge away your dross,and will take away all your tin.
26 I will restore your judges as at the first,and your counselors as at the beginning.Afterward you shall be called ‘The city of righteousness,a faithful town.’
27 Zion shall be redeemed with justice,and her converts with righteousness.
28 But the destruction of transgressors and sinners shall be together,and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.
