25 I will turn my hand against you;^[a](D)
    I will thoroughly purge^(E) away your dross^(F)
    and remove all your impurities.^(G)
26 I will restore your leaders as in days of old,^(H)
    your rulers as at the beginning.
Afterward you will be called^(I)
    the City of Righteousness,^(J)
    the Faithful City.^(K)”

²⁷ Zion will be delivered with justice,
    her penitent^(L) ones with righteousness.^(M)
28 But rebels and sinners^(N) will both be broken,
    and those who forsake^(O) the Lord will perish.^(P)

²⁹ “You will be ashamed^(Q) because of the sacred oaks^(R)
    in which you have delighted;
you will be disgraced because of the gardens^(S)
    that you have chosen.
³⁰ You will be like an oak with fading leaves,^(T)
    like a garden without water.
³¹ The mighty man will become tinder
    and his work a spark;
both will burn together,
    with no one to quench the fire.^(U)”

the mountain^(Y) of the Lord’s temple will be established
    as the highest of the mountains;^(Z)
it will be exalted^(AA) above the hills,
    and all nations will stream to it.^(AB)

“Come, let us go^(AD) up to the mountain^(AE) of the Lord,
    to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
    so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law^(AF) will go out from Zion,
    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.^(AG)
4 He will judge^(AH) between the nations
    and will settle disputes^(AI) for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
    and their spears into pruning hooks.^(AJ)
Nation will not take up sword against nation,^(AK)
    nor will they train for war anymore.
