Judgment on Jerusalem’s Wickedness

1

Woe to the provoking and redeemed city, the dove.

2

She hath not hearkened to the voice, neither hath she received discipline: she hath not trusted in the Lord, she drew not near to her God.

3

Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.

4

Her prophets are senseless, men without faith: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have acted unjustly against the law.

5

The just Lord is in the midst thereof, he will not do iniquity: in the morning, in the morning he will bring his judgment to light, and it shall not be hid: but the wicked man hath not known shame.

6

I have destroyed the nations, and their towers are beaten down: I have made their ways desert, so that there is none that passeth by: their cities are desolate, there is not a man remaining, nor any inhabitant.

7

I said: Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive correction: and her dwelling shall not perish, for all things wherein I have visited her: but they rose early, and corrupted all their thoughts.
