How has the faithful city, full of judgment, become a harlot? Justice lived in her, but now murderers.
Your silver has turned into dross. Your wine has been mixed with water.
Your leaders are unfaithful, the associates of thieves. They all love gifts; they pursue rewards. They do not judge for orphans, and the widow’s case is not brought before them.
Because of this, the Lord God of hosts, the Strength of Israel, says: Ah! I will be consoled over my enemies, and I will be vindicated from my adversaries.
And I will turn my hand to you. And I will temper your dross unto purity, and I will take away all your tin.
And I will restore your judges, so that they will be as before, and your counselors as in times long past. After this, you shall be called the City of the Just, the Faithful City.
Zion will be redeemed in judgment, and they will lead her back to justice.
