22. Your silver has become dross, your wine mixed with water.
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, Yahweh of Armies, 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.
