Isaiah 1:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ Therefore, the Lord of hosts,
    the Mighty One of Israel, says this:
I am determined to vent my anger upon my enemies
    and wreak vengeance on my foes.
²⁵ I will turn my hand against you
    and refine your dross in the furnace,
    purging all of your impurities.
²⁶ And I will restore your judges
    as in the days of old
    and your counselors as at the beginning.
Then you will be called the city of righteousness,
    the faithful city.
