NAS

NIV

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled, The tyrannical city!
1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
2 She heeded no voice, She accepted no instruction. She did not trust in the LORD , She did not 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 within her are roaring lions, Her judges are wolves at evening; They 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 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 is righteous within her; He will do no injustice. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He does not fail. But the unjust 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.
