23 Your princes are rebels and comrades of thieves; Each one of them loves a bribe and looks for gifts. The fatherless they do not defend, the widow’s plea does not reach them. 24 Now, therefore, says the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will take vengeance on my foes and fully repay my enemies! 25 I will turn my hand against you, and refine your dross in the furnace, removing all your alloy. 26 I will restore your judges as at first, and your counselors as in the beginning; After that you shall be called city of justice, faithful city.
