Ezekiel 24:6-9

6 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ^dWoe to the bloody city, to ^ethe pot whose corrosion is in it, and whose corrosion has not gone out of it! Take out of it piece after piece, without making any choice. ^{▼▼Hebrew no lot has fallen upon it} 7 For the blood she has shed is in her midst; she put it on ^gthe bare rock; ^hshe did not pour it out on the ground to cover it with dust. 8 To rouse my wrath, to take vengeance, I have set on the bare rock the blood she has shed, that it may not be covered. 9 Therefore thus says the Lord God: Woe to the bloody city! ⁱI also will make the pile great.

Zephaniah 3:3

3 ^jHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are ^kevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
