Zephaniah 3:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 Her (A)leaders within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are (B)wolves at evening;
They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.
4 Her prophets are (C)insolent, treacherous men;
Her (D)priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the Law.
5 The Lord is (E)righteous (F)within her;
He will (G)do no injustice.
(H)Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He [a]does not fail.
But the [b]criminal (I)knows no shame.
