Zephaniah 3:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ Her officials in her midst are roaring lions;
    her judges are evening wolves;
        they leave nothing until the morning.
⁴ Her prophets are arrogant men of treachery;
    her priests have defiled that which is holy;
        they do violence to the law.
⁵ Yahweh is righteous in her midst;
    he does not do wickedness.
Morning by morning^[a] he renders his judgment;
    at dawn he does not fail,
but an evil one knows no shame.
