1. Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, the oppressing city!
2. She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord;she does not draw near to her God.
3. Her officials within herare roaring lions;her judges are evening wolvesthat leave nothing till the morning.
4. Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy;they do violence to the law.
5. The Lord within her is righteous;he does no injustice;every morning he shows forth his justice;each dawn he does not fail;but the unjust knows no shame.
