Zephaniah 3:3-5
American Standard Version
3 Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they [a]leave nothing till the morrow. 4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. 5 Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; [b]every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
