1Doom to the rebellious city,the home of oppressors—Sewer City!
NABRE
1Ah! Rebellious and polluted,the tyrannical city!
MSG
2The city that wouldn't take advice,wouldn't accept correction,Wouldn't trust God,wouldn't even get close to her own god!
NABRE
2It listens to no voice,accepts no correction;In the Lord it has not trusted,nor drawn near to its God.
MSG
3Her very own leadersare rapacious lions,Her judges are rapacious timber wolvesout every morning prowling for a fresh kill.

3Its officials within itare roaring lions;Its judges are desert wolvesthat have no bones to gnaw by morning.

4Her prophets are out for what they can get.They're opportunists—you can't trust them.Her priests desecrate the Sanctuary.They use God's law as a weapon to maim and kill souls.
NABRE
4Its prophets are reckless,treacherous people;Its priests profane what is holy,and do violence to the law.
MSG
5Yet God remains righteous in her midst,untouched by the evil.He stays at it, day after day, meting out justice.At evening he's still at it, strong as ever.But evil men and women, without conscienceand without shame, persist in evil.
NABRE
5But the Lord in its midst is just,doing no wrong;Morning after morning rendering judgmentunfailingly, at dawn;the wicked, however, know no shame.

MSG
7"I thought, 'Surely she'll honor me now,accept my discipline and correction,Find a way of escape from the trouble she's in,find relief from the punishment I'm bringing.'But it didn't faze her. Bright and earlyshe was up at it again, doing the same old things.

NABRE
8Therefore, wait for me—oracle of the Lord—until the day when I arise as accuser;For it is my decision to gather nations,to assemble kingdoms,In order to pour out upon them my wrath,all my blazing anger;For in the fire of my passionall the earth will be consumed.
MSG
