1 Woe to the city of oppressors,rebellious and defiled!
2 She obeys no one,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 rulers are evening wolves,who leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are unprincipled;they are treacherous people.Her priests profane the sanctuaryand do violence to the law.
5 The Lord within her is righteous;he does no wrong.Morning by morning he dispenses his justice,and every new day he does not fail,yet the unrighteous know no shame.
