25 I will also turn My hand against you,
And (A)smelt away your impurities as with lye;
And I will remove all your slag.
26 Then I will restore your (B)judges as at first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
After that you will be called the (C)city of righteousness,
A faithful city.”

27 Zion will be (D)redeemed with justice
And her [a]repentant ones with righteousness.
