Zephaniah 3:3-5

Modern English Version

³ Her princes within her are roaring lions;
    her judges are evening wolves
    who leave nothing until the morning.
⁴ Her prophets are reckless,
    treacherous men;
her priests have profaned the sanctuary
    and done violence to the law.
⁵ The Lord is righteous in her midst;
    He does no unrighteousness.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
    He does not fail,
    but the unjust knows no shame.
