23 Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love graft and chase after bribes. They do not defend the rights of the fatherless, and the widow’s case never comes before them. 24 Therefore the Lord GOD of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, declares:” Ah, I will gain satisfaction from My foes; I will take revenge against My enemies. 25 I will turn My hand against you and will burn away your dross completely; I will remove all your impurities. 26 I will restore your judges to what they once were, and your advisers to their former state. Afterward you will be called the Righteous City, a Faithful City.” Isaiah 1:23-26, Holman Christian Standard Bible. Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers.
