Zephaniah 3:1-5

Legacy Standard Bible

3 Woe to her who is ^(A)rebellious and ^(B)defiled,
The oppressive ^(C)city!
² She ^(D)did not listen to any voice;
She ^(E)did not receive discipline.
She did not ^(F)trust in Yahweh;
She did not ^(G)draw near to her God.
³ Her ^(H)princes in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are ^(I)wolves at evening;
They leave nothing to gnaw for the morning.
⁴ Her prophets are ^(J)reckless, treacherous men;
Her ^(K)priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.
⁵ Yahweh is ^(L)righteous ^(M)in her midst;
He will ^(N)do no injustice.
^(O)Every morning He brings His justice to light;
^[a]He does not fail.
But the unjust ^(P)knows no shame.
