Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!
2
She didn`t obey the voice. She didn`t receive correction. She didn`t trust in Yahweh. She didn`t draw near to her God.
3
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
4
Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5
Yahweh, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn`t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
6
I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
