Tzefanyah 3:1-3
Orthodox Jewish Bible
3 Hoy (woe) to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city [i.e.,Jerusalem]!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not musar (correction); her bitachon (trust) was not in Hashem; she drew not near to her G-d.
3 Her sarim (princes) within her are roaring arayot; her shofetim are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the boker (morning).
