Isaiah 1:25

Purification Of Jerusalem

²⁴ Therefore the Lord God of Hosts,
the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will gain satisfaction from My foes;
I will take revenge against My enemies.
²⁵ I will turn My hand against you
and will burn away your dross completely;
I will remove all your impurities.
²⁶ I will restore your judges to what they once were,
and your advisers to their former state.
Afterward you will be called the Righteous City,
a Faithful City.”
