MLV(i)
1 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice. She received not correction. She trusted not in Jehovah. She did not draw near to her God.
3 Her rulers in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are airy and treacherous men. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
5 Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous. He will not do unrighteousness. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He does not fail, but the unjust man knows no shame.
6 I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that none passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
7 I said, Only fear me. Receive correction, so her dwelling will not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early and corrupted all their practices. 8 Therefore wait for me, says Jehovah, until the day that I rise up to the prey. For my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, even all my fierce anger. For all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
