11 Where is the lions’ den,
the feeding place of ^athe young lions,
where the lion and lioness went,
where his cubs were, with ^bnone to disturb?

and ^dstrangled prey for his lionesses;
he filled his caves with prey
and his dens with torn flesh.

Zephaniah 3:1-4

Judgment on Jerusalem and the Nations

1 Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
^ethe oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice;
^fshe accepts no correction.
^gShe does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
3 ^hHer officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are ⁱevening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4 ^jHer prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
^kher priests ^lprofane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
