3 Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted,
To the oppressing city!

She has not received correction;
She has not trusted in the Lord,
She has not drawn near to her God.
3 (A)Her princes in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are (B)evening wolves
That leave not a bone till morning.
4 Her (C)prophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have [a]polluted the sanctuary,
They have done (D)violence to the law.

(A)“My son, do not despise the [a]chastening of the Lord,
Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him;
6 For (B)whom the Lord loves He chastens,
And scourges every son whom He receives.”
7 (C)If[b] you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what (D)son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, (E)of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
