Woe (judgment is coming) to her who is rebellious and defiled,The tyrannical city [Jerusalem]!
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
1-5 Doom to the rebellious city, the home of oppressors—Sewer City!The city that wouldn’t take advice, wouldn’t accept correction,Wouldn’t trust God, wouldn’t even get close to her own god!Her very own leaders are rapacious lions,Her judges are rapacious timber wolves out every morning prowling for a fresh kill.Her prophets are out for what they can get. They’re opportunists—you can’t trust them.Her priests desecrate the Sanctuary. They use God’s law as a weapon to maim and kill souls.Yet God remains righteous in her midst, untouched by the evil.He stays at it, day after day, meting out justice. At evening he’s still at it, strong as ever.But evil men and women, without conscience and without shame, persist in evil.
Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,The tyrannical city!
How terrible it will be for Jerusalem! Its people crush others.They refuse to obey the Lord. They are “unclean.”
Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!
What sorrow awaits rebellious, polluted Jerusalem, the city of violence and crime!
