you rulers of Israel,
who despise justice

“Is not the Lord among us?
No disaster will come upon us.”(I)

7 “Lord, you are righteous,(H) but this day we are covered with shame(I)—the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, both near and far, in all the countries where you have scattered(J) us because of our unfaithfulness(K) to you.(L) 8 We and our kings, our princes and our ancestors are covered with shame, Lord, because we have sinned against you.(M) 9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,(N) even though we have rebelled against him;(O) 10 we have not obeyed the Lord our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.(P) 11 All Israel has transgressed(Q) your law(R) and turned away, refusing to obey you.
“Therefore the curses(S) and sworn judgments(T) written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us, because we have sinned(U) against you. 12 You have fulfilled(V) the words spoken against us and against our rulers by bringing on us great disaster.(W) Under the whole heaven nothing has ever been done like(X) what has been done to Jerusalem.(Y) 13 Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us, yet we have not sought the favor of the Lord(Z) our God by turning from our sins and giving attention to your truth.(AA) 14 The Lord did not hesitate to bring the disaster(AB) on us, for the Lord our God is righteous in everything he does;(AC) yet we have not obeyed him.(AD)
15 “Now, Lord our God, who brought your people out of Egypt with a mighty hand(AE) and who made for yourself a name(AF) that endures to this day, we have sinned, we have done wrong. 16 Lord, in keeping with all your righteous acts,(AG) turn away(AH) your anger and your wrath(AI) from Jerusalem,(AJ) your city, your holy hill.(AK) Our sins and the iniquities of our ancestors have made Jerusalem and your people an object of scorn(AL) to all those around us.
17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor(AM) on your desolate sanctuary. 18 Give ear,(AN) our God, and hear;(AO) open your eyes and see(AP) the desolation of the city that bears your Name.(AQ) We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.(AR) 19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive!(AS) Lord, hear and act! For your sake,(AT) my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”

New International Version
25 There is a conspiracy(A) of her princes[a] within her like a roaring lion(B) tearing its prey; they devour people,(C) take treasures and precious things and make many widows(D) within her. 26 Her priests do violence to my law(E) and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common;(F) they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;(G) and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned(H) among them.(I) 27 Her officials(J) within her are like wolves(K) tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people(L) to make unjust gain.(M) 28 Her prophets whitewash(N) these deeds for them by false visions and lying divinations.(O) They say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says’—when the Lord has not spoken.(P) 29 The people of the land practice extortion and commit robbery;(Q) they oppress the poor and needy and mistreat the foreigner,(R) denying them justice.(S)
30 “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall(T) and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.(U) 31 So I will pour out my wrath on them and consume them with my fiery anger,(V) bringing down(W) on their own heads all they have done, declares the Sovereign Lord.(X)”

like cut grain behind the reaper,
with no one to gather them.’”
