22. Your silver is turned to dross,your wine is mixed with water.
23. Your princes are rebelsand comrades of thieves;Each one of them loves a bribeand looks for gifts.The fatherless they do not defend,the widow’s plea does not reach them.
24. Now, therefore, says the Lord,the Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel:Ah! I will take vengeance on my foesand fully repay my enemies!
25. I will turn my hand against you,and refine your dross in the furnace,removing all your alloy.
26. I will restore your judges as at first,and your counselors as in the beginning;After that you shall be calledcity of justice, faithful city.
27. Zion shall be redeemed by justice,and her repentant ones by righteousness.
