Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations
3 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
(A)the oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice;
(B)she accepts no correction.
(C)She does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3 (D)Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are (E)evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 (F)Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
(G)her priests (H)profane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.

11 Where is the lions' den,
the feeding place of (A)the young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with (B)none to disturb?
12 (C)The lion tore enough for his cubs
and (D)strangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.

and a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
their young shall lie down together;
and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play over the hole of the cobra,
and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den.
9 (B)They shall not hurt or destroy
in all (C)my holy mountain;
(D)for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea.
