1 Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressive city!
2 She has not obeyed; she has not accepted discipline. She has not trusted in Yahweh;she has not drawn near to her God.
3 The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are reckless —treacherous men.Her priests profane the sanctuary;they do violence to instruction.
5 The righteous Lord is in her; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning;He does not fail at dawn,yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.
