1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
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 princes within her [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are light [and] treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
4 Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.
5 The just LORD [is] in the midst of her; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
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.
