Paanong ang tapat na lungsod ay naging tulad ng isang babaeng nagbebenta ng aliw! Siya na dating puno ng katarungan, na doon ay laging nananahan ang katuwiran; ngunit ngayon, mga mamamatay-tao.
Zephaniah
Hélas! elle est salie et souillée, la ville [étourdie] comme une colombe!
Ecclesiastes
And I have further seen [(by the Holy Spirit)] that in the place of justice [(the chamber of hewn stone in Jerusalem, viz. Isaiah 1:21, the seat of Sanhedrin)], there will wickedness be adjudicated [viz. Michah 3:11], and in the place of righteousness [(the middle gate, where halachoth were formulated)], there will [the counsels of] wickedness [be seated].
