On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish the officials, the king’s sons,
and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.

The princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are wolves of the night,
which leave nothing for the morning.

Her prophets are reckless—
treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to instruction.

I have cut off nations;
their corner towers are destroyed.
I have laid waste their streets,
with no one to pass through.
Their cities lie devastated,
without a person, without an inhabitant.
