Zephaniah 3:3-5
International Children’s Bible
3 Their officers are like roaring lions.
Their rulers are like hungry wolves that attack in the evening.
In the morning nothing is left of those they attacked.
4 Their prophets are proud.
They cannot be trusted.
Their priests don’t respect holy things.
They break God’s teachings.
5 But the Lord is good, and he is there in that city.
He does no wrong.
Every morning he governs the people fairly.
Every day he can be trusted by his people.
But evil people are not ashamed of the bad things they do.
Zephaniah 3:3-5
New International Version
3 Her officials within her
are roaring lions;(A)
her rulers are evening wolves,(B)
who leave nothing for the morning.(C)
4 Her prophets are unprincipled;
they are treacherous people.(D)
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.(E)
5 The Lord within her is righteous;(F)
he does no wrong.(G)
Morning by morning(H) he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,(I)
yet the unrighteous know no shame.(J)
