23
Thy princes are rebellious, companions of thieves, loving bribes, seeking after rewards; not pleading for orphans, and not heeding the cause of widows.
24
Therefore thus saith the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Woe to the mighty of Israel; for my wrath shall not cease against mine adversaries, and I will execute judgment on mine enemies.
25
And I will bring my hand upon thee, and purge thee completely, and I will destroy the rebellious, and will take away from thee all transgressors.
26
And I will establish thy judges as before, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: and afterward thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, the faithful mother-city of Sion.
27
For her captives shall be saved with judgment, and with mercy.
