Psalm 55:10
English Standard Version
10 Day and night they go around it
on its walls,
and (A)iniquity and trouble are within it;
Psalm 59:14-15
English Standard Version
14 (A)Each evening they come back,
howling like dogs
and prowling about the city.
15 They (B)wander about for food
and growl if they do not get their fill.
Isaiah 59:6-15
English Standard Version
6 (A)Their webs will not serve as clothing;
men will not cover themselves with what they make.
Their works are works of iniquity,
and deeds of violence are in their hands.
7 (B)Their feet run to evil,
and they are swift to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity;
desolation and destruction are in their highways.
8 The way of peace they do not know,
and there is no justice in their paths;
they have made their roads crooked;
(C)no one who treads on them knows peace.
9 Therefore justice is far from us,
and righteousness does not overtake us;
(D)we hope for light, and behold, darkness,
and for brightness, but we walk in gloom.
10 (E)We grope for the wall like the blind;
we grope like those who have no eyes;
we stumble at noon as in the twilight,
(F)among those in full vigor we are like dead men.
11 We all growl like bears;
(G)we moan and moan like doves;
(H)we hope for justice, but there is none;
for salvation, but it is far from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you,
and our sins testify against us;
for our transgressions are with us,
and we know our iniquities:
13 transgressing, and denying the Lord,
and turning back from following our God,
(I)speaking oppression and revolt,
conceiving and uttering from the heart lying words.
Judgment and Redemption
14 (J)Justice is turned back,
and righteousness stands far away;
for truth has stumbled in the public squares,
and uprightness cannot enter.
15 Truth is lacking,
and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
The Lord saw it, and it displeased him[a]
that there was no justice.

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.

and work evil (B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,

2 They covet fields and (C)seize them,
and houses, and take them away;
they oppress a man and his house,
a man and his inheritance.
