Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
the oppressing city!
She listens to no voice;
she accepts no correction.
She does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
her priests profane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Woe to the city that is rebellious and defiled,
the oppressive city!
She has not obeyed;
she has not accepted discipline.
She has not trusted in the Lord;
she has not drawn near to her God.
The princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are wolves of the night,
which leave nothing for the morning.
Her prophets are reckless—
treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to instruction.

NLTNew Living Translation
What sorrow awaits rebellious, polluted Jerusalem,
the city of violence and crime!
No one can tell it anything;
it refuses all correction.
It does not trust in the Lord
or draw near to its God.
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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Woe to you, O rebellious and defiled one!
The oppressing city!
She listens to no voice;
she does not accept correction.
In Yahweh she does not trust;
to her God she does not draw near.
Her officials in her midst are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves;
they leave nothing until the morning.
Her prophets are arrogant men of treachery;
her priests have defiled that which is holy;
they do violence to the law.

KJV 1900King James Version
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction;
She trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
Her princes within her are roaring lions;
Her judges are evening wolves;
They gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons:
Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
