20. but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
21. How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness used to lodge in it, but now murderers.
22. Thy silver is become dross, thy wine is mixed with water:
23. thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves; every one loveth presents, and hunteth after rewards; they judge not the fatherless, and the cause of the widow cometh not unto them.
24. Therefore saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah! I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies.
25. And I will turn my hand upon thee, and will thoroughly purge away thy dross, and take away all thine alloy;
26. and I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning. Afterwards thou shalt be called, Town of righteousness, Faithful city.
27. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and they that return of her with righteousness.
