Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752

Sophonias 3:1-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. Woe to the provoking, and redeemed city, the dove.

2. She hath not hearkened to the voice, neither hath she received discipline: she hath not trusted in the Lord, she drew not near to her God.

3. Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.

4. Her prophets are senseless men without faith: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have acted unjustly against the law.

5. The just Lord is in the midst thereof, he will not do iniquity: in the morning, in the morning he will bring his judgment to light, and it shall not be hid: but the wicked man hath not known shame.
