24 Therefore the Lord says,
The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel,
“Ah, (A)I will [a]rid Myself of My adversaries,
And [b]take vengeance on My enemies.
25 I will turn My hand against you,
And (B)thoroughly[c] purge away your dross,
And take away all your alloy.
26 I will restore your judges (C)as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning.
Afterward (D)you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.”
