the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will gain satisfaction from My foes;
I will take revenge against My enemies.(A)
25 I will turn My hand against you(B)
and will burn away your dross[a] completely;[b]
I will remove all your impurities.(C)
26 I will restore your judges(D) to what they once were,[c]
and your advisers to their former state.[d]
Afterward you will be called the Righteous City,(E)
a Faithful City.”
