Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB
New International Version NIV
1 Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled, the oppressive city!
1
Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
2 She has not obeyed; she has not accepted discipline. She has not trusted in the Lord; she has not drawn 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 The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.
3
Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are reckless- treacherous men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to instruction.
4
Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.
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.
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.
