Isaiah 1:24-28

24That’s why the Lord, the Lord of Armies, the Mighty One of Israel, says, “How horrible it will be when I take revenge on my opponents! I will avenge myself against my enemies.

25I will turn my power against you. I will remove your impurities with bleach. I will get rid of all your impurities.

26I will give you judges like you had long ago, advisers like you had in the beginning. After that you will be called the Righteous City, the Faithful Town.”

27Zion will be pardoned by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ justice, and those who return will be pardoned by ⌞the Lord’s⌟ righteousness.

28Rebels and sinners will be crushed at the same time, and those who abandon the Lord will come to an end.
