1. Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2. She did not obey the voice; she did not receive correction; she did not trust in the Lord; she did not draw near to her God.
3. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they do not leave a bone for tomorrow.
4. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary; they have falsified the law.
5. The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: each morning he shall bring his judgment to light; he never fails; but the unjust know no shame.
6. I have caused the Gentiles to be cut off: their castles are desolate; I made their streets waste until no one passes by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man left, there is no inhabitant.
