1. Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,the oppressing city.
2. She obeys no voice,she receives no correction;she does not trust in the Lord,she does not draw near to her God.
3. Her princes within her are roaring lions;her judges are evening wolveswho leave nothing until the morning.
4. Her prophets are reckless,treacherous men;her priests have profaned the sanctuaryand done violence to the law.
5. The Lord is righteous in her midst;He does no unrighteousness.Every morning He brings His justice to light;He does not fail,but the unjust knows no shame.
6. I have cut off nations,their strongholds are devastated;I have made their streets desolate,with no one passing by.Their cities are destroyed;there is no man, no inhabitant.
