Zephaniah 3:1-4

Woe to Jerusalem and the Nations

Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The tyrannical city!
2
She heeded no voice,
She accepted no instruction.
She did not trust in the Lord,
She did not draw near to her God.
3
Her princes within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing for the morning.
4
Her prophets are reckless, treacherous men;
Her priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.
