1. Ah! Rebellious and polluted,the tyrannical city!
2. It listens to no voice,accepts no correction;In the Lord it has not trusted,nor drawn near to its God.
3. Its officials within itare roaring lions;Its judges are desert wolvesthat have no bones to gnaw by morning.
4. Its prophets are reckless,treacherous people;Its priests profane what is holy,and do violence to the law.
5. But the Lord in its midst is just,doing no wrong;Morning after morning rendering judgmentunfailingly, at dawn;the wicked, however, know no shame.
