3 Woe to the city of oppressors,^(A)
    rebellious^(B) and defiled!^(C)

⁷ Of Jerusalem I thought,
    ‘Surely you will fear me
    and accept correction!’^(A)
Then her place of refuge^[a] would not be destroyed,
    nor all my punishments come upon^[b] her.
But they were still eager
    to act corruptly^(B) in all they did.
