Jerusalem’s officials are like roaring lions. Their rulers are like wolves that hunt in the evening. They don’t leave anything to eat in the morning.

Her officials within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves that leave nothing till the morning.

Its leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims. Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.

The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.

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

Her princes in her midst are roaring lions; Her judges are evening wolves That leave not a bone till morning.

Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.

The princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are wolves of the night, which leave nothing for the morning.

Her princes within her[ are] roaring lions; her judges[ are] evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

Her princes are as fierce as roaring lions; her rulers are as hungry as wolves in the desert, who completely devour their prey by morning.

Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

Their horses are swifter than leopards, fiercer than wolves at dusk. Their cavalry gallops headlong; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;

There is a conspiracy of her princes within her like a roaring lion tearing its prey; they devour people, take treasures and precious things and make many widows within her.Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things; they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean; and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey; they shed blood and kill people to make unjust gain.

Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them, a wolf from the desert will ravage them, a leopard will lie in wait near their towns to tear to pieces any who venture out, for their rebellion is great and their backslidings many.

He lies in wait near the villages; from ambush he murders the innocent. His eyes watch in secret for his victims;like a lion in cover he lies in wait. He lies in wait to catch the helpless; he catches the helpless and drags them off in his net.His victims are crushed, they collapse; they fall under his strength.

Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts. They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.

Then I said,“ Listen, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel. Should you not embrace justice,you who hate good and love evil; who tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones;who eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces; who chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot?”Then they will cry out to the Lord, but he will not answer them. At that time he will hide his face from them because of the evil they have done.

As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

“ But your eyes and your heart are set only on dishonest gain, on shedding innocent blood and on oppression and extortion.”

Hear this, you leaders of Jacob, you rulers of Israel, who despise justice and distort all that is right;who build Zion with bloodshed, and Jerusalem with wickedness.Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the Lord’s support and say,“ Is not the Lord among us? No disaster will come upon us.”

“‘ See how each of the princes of Israel who are in you uses his power to shed blood.
