23. Your leaders have rejected meto become friends of crooks;your rulers are lookingfor gifts and bribes.Widows and orphansnever get a fair trial.
24. I am the Lord All-Powerful,the mighty ruler of Israel,and I make you a promise:you are now my enemy,and I will show my angerby taking revenge on you.
25. I will punish you terriblyand burn away everythingthat makes you unfitto worship me.
