Zephaniah 3:1-3

New Catholic Bible

¹ Woe to the city of tyrants,
    rebellious and defiled.
² It has not heeded any warning voice,
    it has not accepted any correction.
It has not placed its trust in the Lord;
    it has not drawn near to its God.
³ The officials within it
    are roaring lions;
its judges are wolves of the wasteland
    that leave nothing in reserve for the morning.
