1 Doom, obstinate one,the defiled one,the violent city.
2 She listened to no voice;she accepted no discipline.She didn’t trust in the Lord, nor did she draw near to her God.
3 The princes in her midst are roaring lions.Her judges are wolves of the evening;they leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are reckless, men of treachery.Her priests pollute that which is holy;they do violence to the Instruction.
5 The Lord is righteous in her midst.He does nothing unjust.Morning by morning he renders justice,but the unrighteous one knows no shame.
