3Its officials are ⸤like⸥ roaring lions.
Its judges are ⸤like⸥ wolves in the evening.
They leave nothing to gnaw on for the morning.
4Its prophets are reckless and unfaithful.
Its priests contaminate what is holy.
They violate the teachings.

Its leaders are like roaring lions
hunting for their victims.
Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time,
who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain.
Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God’s instructions.
