Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.

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.

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 and more fierce than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from distant lands. They fly like an eagle, swooping to devour.

The conspiracy of her prophets within her is like a roaring lion tearing its prey: they devour people, seize wealth and valuables, and multiply the widows within her.Her priests do violence to My instruction and profane My holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and the common, and they do not explain the difference between the clean and the unclean. They disregard My Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.“ Her officials within her are like wolves tearing their prey, shedding blood, and destroying lives in order to make profit dishonestly.

Therefore, a lion from the forest will strike them down. A wolf from an arid plain will ravage them. A leopard keeps watch over their cities. Anyone who leaves them will be torn to pieces because their rebellious acts are many, their unfaithful deeds numerous.

He waits in ambush near the villages; he kills the innocent in secret places. His eyes are on the lookout for the helpless;he lurks in secret like a lion in a thicket. He lurks in order to seize the afflicted; he seizes the afflicted and drags him in his net.So he is oppressed and beaten down; the helpless fall because of his strength.

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

Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love graft and chase after bribes. They do not defend the rights of the fatherless, and the widow’s case never comes before them.

Then I said,“ Now listen, leaders of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel. Aren’t you supposed to know what is just?You hate good and love evil. You tear off people’s skin and strip their flesh from their bones.You eat the flesh of my people after you strip their skin from them and break their bones. You chop them up like flesh for the cooking pot, like meat in a cauldron.”Then they will cry out to the Lord, but He will not answer them. He will hide His face from them at that time because of the crimes they have committed.

In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.They perish at a single blast from God and come to an end by the breath of His nostrils.The lion may roar and the fierce lion growl, but the fangs of young lions are broken.The strong lion dies if it catches no prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

But you have eyes and a heart for nothing except your own dishonest profit, shedding innocent blood and committing extortion and oppression.

Listen to this, leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice and pervert everything that is right,who build Zion with bloodshed and Jerusalem with injustice.Her leaders issue rulings for a bribe, her priests teach for payment, and her prophets practice divination for money. Yet they lean on the Lord, saying,“ Isn’t the Lord among us? No disaster will overtake us.”

“ Look, every prince of Israel within you has used his strength to shed blood.
