# her
This pronoun refers to Jerusalem.
# Her princes within her are like wolves tearing apart their victims
This compares Israel's princes to wolves who attack and kill their victims. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
# They pour out blood and destroy life
These two phrases mean basically the same thing and emphasize the violence that the princes practice. Alternate translation: "They murder people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# for unjust gain
"so that they can make a profit through dishonest actions"
