25 I will turn against you.
    I will clean away all your wrongs as if with soap.
    I will take all the worthless things out of you.
26 I will bring back judges as you had long ago.
    Your counselors will be like the ones you had in the beginning.
Then you will be called the City That Is Right with God.
    You will be called the Loyal City.”

    he will rescue Jerusalem.
Because the Lord does what is right,
    he will save her people who come back to him.
