^{23 Ref} Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.

^{24 Ref} For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;

^{25 Ref} And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;

^{26 Ref} And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.
