21. How has a faithful city become like a whore? Full of justice, righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers.
22. Your silver has become as dross; Your wine is diluted with waters.
23. Your princes are rebels and companions of thieves. Every one loves a bribe and runs after gifts. They do not defend the orphan and the legal dispute of the widow does not come before them.
24. Therefore, the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: “Ah, I will be relieved of my enemies, and I will avenge myself on my foes.
25. And I will turn my hand against you; I will purify your dross like lye, and I will remove all of your tin.
26. And I will restore your judges, as at the first, and your counselors, as at the beginning. After this you will be called the city of righteousness, faithful city.
