2. She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave not a bone till the morning.
4. Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous persons: her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5. The just LORD is in her midst; he will do no wrong: every morning does he bring his judgment to light, he fails not; but the unjust knows no shame.
6. I have cut off the nations: their fortresses are desolate; I laid waste their streets, so that none passes by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, there is no inhabitant.
7. I said, Surely you will fear me, you will receive instruction; so her dwelling should not be cut off, no matter how I punished her: but they rose early, and corrupted all their deeds.
8. Therefore wait upon me,
9. For then will I restore to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one accord.
