Woe to you who go to the house of drinking morning and evening, and get drunk and pervert judgment, and do not give heed to the cause of the orphan and the helpless women, and dwell in lewdness and oppression.
And I too will bring upon you chastisement and calamity and disease, and you shall be consumed like that which the worm and the moth devour, and your remembrance shall not be found within your borders.
And your city shall become a waste; and everyone who first sees it shall clap his hands and hiss at it, saying, Is not this the city that was full of blessing and of all good things? Has the Lord made it thus for the wickedness of those who dwelt in it?
Woe to it, for it lifted up its heart and exalted its head and stretched out its neck, until the Lord brought it to shame in the dust of the earth; and because of the pride of those who dwelt in it, it became a waste, and there sprang up upon it thorns and thistles.
And it became a terror to those who pass through it, because the wrath of the Lord fell upon it, and it drank from the cup of His wrath, because of the pride of its heart, in the wickedness of those who dwelt in it.
