the Mighty One of Israel, declares:
“Ah, I will get even with my foes;
I will take revenge against my enemies.(A)
25 I will turn my hand against you(B)
and will burn away your dross completely;[a]
I will remove all your impurities.(C)
26 I will restore your judges(D) to what they were at first,
and your advisers to what they were at the start.
Afterward you will be called the Righteous City,(E)
a Faithful Town.”
