The (A)Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries
And (B)avenge Myself on My foes.

And will (C)smelt away your dross as with lye
And will remove all your alloy.
26 “Then I will restore your (D)judges as at the first,
And your counselors as at the beginning;
After that you will be called the (E)city of righteousness,
A faithful city.”
