Zephaniah 3:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

2. She listens to no voice; she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the Lord;she does not draw near to her God.

3. Her officials within herare roaring lions;her judges are evening wolvesthat leave nothing till the morning.

4. Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men; her priests profane what is holy;they do violence to the law.
