Zephaniah 3:1-4

Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
gthe oppressing city!
2She listens to no voice;
hshe accepts no correction.
iShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3 jHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are kevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 lHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
mher priests nprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
