1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted,
To the oppressing city!

2 She has not obeyed His voice,
She has not received correction;
She has not trusted in the Lord,
She has not drawn near to her God.

4 Her ^aprophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have¹ polluted the sanctuary,
They have done ^bviolence to the law. ‡

5 The Lord is righteous in her midst,
He will do no unrighteousness.
¹Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But ^athe unjust knows no shame. ‡
