Woe to Oppressive Jerusalem

Woe to the city that is rebellious[a](A) and defiled,(B)
the oppressive city!
She has not obeyed;(C)
she has not accepted discipline.(D)
She has not trusted(E) in Yahweh;

The[b] princes within her are roaring lions;(F)
her judges are wolves of the night,(G)
which leave nothing for[c] the morning.
