Zephaniah 3:3-5
International Standard Version
3 Its national officials[a] are roaring lions;
its judges are like wolves of the night
that don’t leave the bones for the morning.
4 Its prophets are arrogant and treacherous.
Its priests have contaminated the sanctuary.
They give perverse interpretations of the Law.[b]
5 The righteous Lord who lives[c] within her will do no wrong;
he will bring justice to light morning by morning.
He never fails,
but the unjust are shameless.
