The Wickedness of Jerusalem
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.
She has not received correction;
She has not trusted in the Lord,
She has not drawn near to her God.
3 aHer princes in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are bevening wolves
That leave not a bone till morning.
Her judges are bevening wolves
That leave not a bone till morning.
4 Her aprophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have1 polluted the sanctuary,
They have done bviolence to the law.
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.
He will do no unrighteousness.
1Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But athe unjust knows no shame.
6 “I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.
