Zephaniah 3:2-4

International Standard Version

² It won’t obey anyone.^[a]
It won’t accept discipline.
    It does not trust in the Lord.
        It does not approach God.
³ Its national officials^[b] 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.^[c]
