Jerusalem Is Not Loyal to God

21 [L See how; or How…!] The ·city of Jerusalem once followed the Lord [L faithful city],
    ·but she is no longer loyal to him [L …has become a prostitute/whore; C a metaphor for spiritual treachery].
She used to be filled with ·fairness [justice];
    ·people there lived the way God wanted [Righteousness/Justice lived/lodged there; C personification].
    But now, murderers live there.
