26. I will reestablish honest judges as in former times,wise advisers as in earlier days.Then you will be called, ‘The Just City,Faithful Town.’”
27. Zion will be freed by justice,and her returnees by righteousness.
28. All rebellious sinners will be shattered,those who abandon the Lord will perish.
29. Indeed, they will be ashamed of the sacred treesyou find so desirable;you will be embarrassed because of the sacred orchardswhere you choose to worship.
30. For you will be like a tree whose leaves wither,like an orchard that is unwatered.
31. The powerful will be like a thread of yarn,their deeds like a spark;both will burn together,and no one will put out the fire.
