The Sins of Jerusalem

5Those near and far will mock you, O infamous city, full of turmoil.6See how every prince of Israel within you has used his power to shed blood.7Father and mother are treated with contempt. Within your walls the foreign resident is exploited, the fatherless and the widow are oppressed.
