“Women are raped
In Zion.
Virgins are raped
In the towns
Of Judah.
Princes are
Hung up
By their hands.
No respect
Is shown
To the elders.”
People are disrespected. In the city of Jerusalem, Zion, they rape women. They also rape virgins in the Judean towns. They hang up princes of Jerusalem by their hands. Finally, no one respects the elderly. There does not seem to be a moral equivalency among these actions, since rape seems worse than disrespect for the elderly.
