The Unjust Knows No Shame
Woe to her who is arebellious and bdefiled,
The oppressive ccity!
2 She adid not listen to any voice;
She bdid not receive discipline.
She did not ctrust in Yahweh;
She did not ddraw near to her God.
3 Her aprinces in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are bwolves at evening;
They leave nothing to gnaw for the morning.
4 Her prophets are areckless, treacherous men;
Her bpriests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.
5 Yahweh is arighteous bin her midst;
He will cdo no injustice.
dEvery morning He brings His justice to light;
He does not fail.
But the unjust eknows no shame.
6 “I have cut off nations;
Their corner towers are desolate.
I have made their streets aa waste,
With no one passing by;
Their bcities are laid waste,
Without a man, cwithout an inhabitant.
7 I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
aReceive discipline.’
So her abode will bnot be cut off
According to all that I have appointed concerning her.
But they were eager to ccorrupt all their deeds.
