25. And I will bring My hand again upon you and thoroughly purge away your dross [as with lye] and take away all your tin or alloy.
26. And 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, the Faithful City.
27. Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her [returned] converts with righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God).
28. But the crushing and destruction of rebels and sinners shall be together, and they who forsake the Lord shall be consumed.
29. For you will be ashamed [of the folly and degradation] of the oak or terebinth trees in which you found [idolatrous] pleasure, and you will blush with shame for the [idolatrous worship which you practice in the passion-inflaming] gardens which you have chosen.
30. For you shall be like an oak or terebinth whose leaf withers, and like a garden that has no water.
31. And the strong shall become like tow and become tinder, and his work like a spark, and they shall both burn together, with none to quench them.
