Judgment on Jerusalem’s Wickedness

1

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.

6

“I have cut off the nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have made their streets deserted with no one to pass through. Their cities are laid waste, with no man, no inhabitant.

7

I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me and accept correction.’ Then her dwelling place would not be cut off despite all for which I punished her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.
