1 Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled,the oppressive city! 2 She has not obeyed;she has not accepted discipline. She has not trusted in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.3 The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.4 Her prophets are reckless —treacherous men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to instruction. 5 The righteous LORD is in her; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn,yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.6 I have cut off nations; their corner towers are destroyed. I have laid waste their streets,with no one to pass through. Their cities lie devastated,without a person, without an inhabitant.7 I thought: You will certainly fear Me and accept correction. Then her dwelling place would not be cut off [based on] all that I had allocated to her. However, they became more corrupt in all their actions. 8 Therefore, wait for Me — the LORD's declaration— until the day I rise up for plunder. For My decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms,in order to pour out My indignation on them, all My burning anger; for the whole earth will be consumed by the fire of My jealousy. 9 For I will then restore pure speech to the peoples so that all of them may call on the name of Yahweh and serve Him with a single purpose.
