Purification Of Jerusalem

23

And companions of thieves;
Everyone loves bribes
And chases after gifts.
They do not defend the fatherless,
Nor does the widow’s cause come before them [instead they delay or turn a deaf ear].
24 
Therefore the Lord God of hosts,
The Mighty One of Israel, declares:

And avenge Myself on My enemies.
25

And will [thoroughly] purge away your dross as with lye
And remove all your tin (impurity).
