23 Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. All of them are lovers of bribes and are runners after gifts. They don't bring justice to orphans, and the widow's case never comes up for review in their court.| 24 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD of the Heavenly Armies, the one who is Israel's Mighty One, declares: |Now I'll get relief from his enemies and avenge myself on his foes. 25 When I turn my attention to you, I'll refine your dross as in a furnace. I'll remove all your alloy. 26 Let me restore your judges as at the first, and your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward you'll be called 'The Righteous City' and 'The Faithful City of Zion'.
