Judgment on Jerusalem

3 Woe to the city of oppressors,

rebellious and defiled!

2 She heeded no voice;

she accepted no correction.

She does not trust in the LORD;

she has not drawn near to her God.

3 Her princes are roaring lions;

her judges are evening wolves,

leaving nothing for the morning.

4 Her prophets are reckless,

faithless men.

Her priests profane the sanctuary;

they do violence to the law.

5 The LORD within her is righteous;

He does no wrong.

He applies His justice morning by morning;

He does not fail at dawn,

yet the unjust know no shame.
