2 She didn't obey the voice. She didn't receive correction. She didn't trust in the LORD. She didn't draw 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 in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.
4 Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her Kohanim have profaned 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 LORD, in the midst of her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn't fail, but the unjust know 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.
