Zephaniah 3:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 The[a] princes within her are roaring lions;(A)
her judges are wolves of the night,(B)
which leave nothing for[b] the morning.
4 Her prophets are reckless(C)—
treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to instruction.(D)
5 The righteous Lord is in her;(E)
He does no wrong.(F)
He applies His justice morning by morning;
He does not fail at dawn,
yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.(G)
