Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, To the oppressing city!
2
She has not obeyed His voice, She has not received correction; She has not trusted in the Lord, She has not drawn near to her God.
3
Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are evening wolves That leave not a bone till morning.
4
Her prophets are insolent, treacherous people; Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have done violence to the law.
5
The Lord is righteous in her midst, He will do no unrighteousness. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He never fails, But the unjust knows no shame.
6
"I have cut off nations, Their fortresses are devastated; I have made their streets desolate, With none passing by. Their cities are destroyed; There is no one, no inhabitant.
