Isaiah 1:26

The eleventh bracha of Shemoneh Esrei is called Din (justice). It references several verses, including this one from the Book of Isaiah. The ibn Ezra explains that the corrupt judges of King Achaz will be removed from office and replaced with honest judges by the righteous King Chizkiyahu; they will be upstanding judges “as at first,” meaning as in the days of Kings David and Solomon.
