3. The princes in her midst are roaring lions.Her judges are wolves of the evening;they leave nothing for the morning.
4. Her prophets are reckless, men of treachery.Her priests pollute that which is holy;they do violence to the Instruction.
5. The Lord is righteous in her midst.He does nothing unjust.Morning by morning he renders justice,but the unrighteous one knows no shame.
6. I will cut off nations;their towers will be destroyed;I will devastate their streets.No one will pass through.Their cities will be laid waste.There will be no person, no inhabitant left.
7. I said, "Surely, she will fear me;she will take instructionso that her habitation won’t be cut offbecause of everything I did to her."However, they rose early to corrupt their deeds.
