And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: {purely: Heb. according to pureness}

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city.

Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. {her...: or, they that return of her}

And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners {shall be} together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be consumed. {destruction: Heb. breaking}

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which ye have desired, and ye shall be confounded for the gardens that ye have chosen.
