NASB
""I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy."
— Isaiah 1:25, NASB
“And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:”
“and I will turn my hand upon thee, and thoroughly purge away thy dross, and will take away all thy tin; ”
“and I will turn my hand on you, thoroughly purge away your dross, and will take away all your tin.”
“I will attack you; I will purify your metal with flux. I will remove all your slag.”
“And I will turn my hand to thee, and I will clean purge away thy dross, and I will take away all thy tin.”
“And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;”
“And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin:”
Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.
Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.
Therefore the Lord GOD of hosts, The Mighty One of Israel, declares, "Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries And avenge Myself on My foes.
"I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy.
"Then I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning; After that you will be called the city of righteousness, A faithful city."
Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.
But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end.
