Zephaniah 3

¹ Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!

² She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.

³ Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.

⁴ Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.

⁵ The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
