Her (A)leaders within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are (B)wolves at evening;
They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.

Her (D)priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the Law.
The Lord is (E)righteous (F)within her;
He will (G)do no injustice.
(H)Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He [a]does not fail.
But the [b]criminal (I)knows no shame.
