Zephaniah 3:3-5
Living Bible
Zephaniah 3:3-5
Living Bible
3 Her leaders are like roaring lions hunting for their victims—out for everything that they can get. Her judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time, who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
4 Her “prophets” are liars seeking their own gain; her priests defile the Temple by their disobedience to God’s laws.
5 But the Lord is there within the city, and he does no wrong. Day by day his justice is more evident, but no one heeds—the wicked know no shame.

Morning by morning(H) he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,(I)
