הוֹי מֹרְאָה וְנִגְאָלָה הָעִיר הַיּוֹנָֽה
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, To the oppressing city!
לֹא שָֽׁמְעָה בְּקוֹל לֹא לָקְחָה מוּסָר בַּֽיהוָה לֹא בָטָחָה אֶל־אֱלֹהֶיהָ לֹא קָרֵֽבָה
She hearkened not the voice, She received not correction; She trusted not in the LORD, She drew not near to her God.
שָׂרֶיהָ בְקִרְבָּהּ אֲרָיוֹת שֹֽׁאֲגִים שֹׁפְטֶיהָ זְאֵבֵי עֶרֶב לֹא גָרְמוּ לַבֹּֽקֶר
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; Her judges are wolves of the desert, They leave not a bone for the morrow.
נְבִיאֶיהָ פֹּֽחֲזִים אַנְשֵׁי בֹּֽגְדוֹת כֹּהֲנֶיהָ חִלְּלוּ־קֹדֶשׁ חָמְסוּ תּוֹרָֽה
Her prophets are wanton And treacherous persons; Her priests have profaned that which is holy, They have done violence to the law.
יְהוָה צַדִּיק בְּקִרְבָּהּ לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה עַוְלָה בַּבֹּקֶר בַּבֹּקֶר מִשְׁפָּטוֹ יִתֵּן לָאוֹר לֹא נֶעְדָּר וְלֹֽא־יוֹדֵעַ עַוָּל בֹּֽשֶׁת
The LORD who is righteous is in the midst of her, He will not do unrighteousness; Every morning doth He bring His right to light, It faileth not; But the unrighteous knoweth no shame.
