Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!She obeys no one, she accepts no correction.

Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.The Lord within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame. (niv)
