Authorized (King James) Version
Zephaniah 3:3-5
Authorized (King James) Version
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves;
they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons:
her priests have polluted the sanctuary,
they have done violence to the law.
5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof;
he will not do iniquity:
every morning doth he bring his judgment to light,
he faileth not;
but the unjust knoweth no shame.
