26     I will bring back legislators who have integrity,
        people like your founding fathers—principled decision-makers.
    Then your city will be called honorable and just,
        a model of ethics, trustworthy, and strong.

    her penitent(E) ones with righteousness.(F)

    and those who forsake(H) the Lord will perish.(I)
