Zephaniah 3:1-5 World English Bible (WEB)

1. Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!

2. She didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in Yahweh. She didn’t draw near to her God.

3. Her princes within her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.

4. Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.

5. Yahweh, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know no shame.
