Isaiah 1:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ So the Lord God ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts],
    the Mighty One of Israel, says:
“[^LWoe; Alas; Aha,] I will ·take revenge on [vent my wrath against; or get relief from; console myself by destroying] my ·foes [enemies; adversaries].
    I will pay back my ·enemies [foes].
²⁵ I will turn [^Lmy hand] against you
    and ·clean away all your wrongs as if with soap [or purify you as metal is refined; ^Lpurge your dross as with lye/potash/soap];
    I will ·take all the worthless things out of you [^Lremove all your impurities/slag].
²⁶ I will ·bring back [restore] judges as you had ·long ago [formerly; at the first];
    your ·counselors [advisors] will be like those you had in the beginning.
Then you will be called the City ·That Is Right with God [of Righteousness/Justice],
    the ·Loyal [Faithful; Trustworthy] City.”
