Judgment Of Jerusalem And The Nations
4 Her prophets unstable -- men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law. 5 Jehovah is righteous in her midst, He doth not do perverseness, Morning by morning His judgment he giveth to the light, It hath not been lacking, And the perverse doth not know shame. 6 I have cut off nations, Desolated have been their chief ones, I have laid waste their out-places without any passing by, Destroyed have been their cities, Without man, without inhabitant.
