23. Your leaders have rejected meto become friends of crooks;your rulers are lookingfor gifts and bribes.Widows and orphansnever get a fair trial.
24. I am the Lord All-Powerful,the mighty ruler of Israel,and I make you a promise:you are now my enemy,and I will show my angerby taking revenge on you.
25. I will punish you terriblyand burn away everythingthat makes you unfitto worship me.
26. Jerusalem, I will choosejudges and adviserslike those you had before.Your new name will be“Justice and Faithfulness”.
27. Jerusalem, you will be savedby showing justice;Zion's people who turn to mewill be savedby doing right.
