Zephaniah 3:3-7

Her leaders within her are roaring lions, Her judges are wolves at evening; They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.

Her prophets are insolent, treacherous men; Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the Law.

The Lord is righteous within her; He will do no injustice. Every morning He brings His justice to light; He does not fail. But the criminal knows no shame.

“I have eliminated nations; Their corner towers are deserted. I have laid waste their streets, With no one passing by; Their cities have been laid waste, Without a person, without an inhabitant.

“I said, ‘You will certainly revere Me, You will accept discipline.’ So her dwelling will not be eliminated In accordance with everything that I have stipulated for her. Instead, they were eager to corrupt all their deeds.
