New Testament

Zephaniah 3:1-4 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. How terrible it will be for Jerusalem! Its people crush others. They refuse to obey the Lord. They are "unclean."

2. They don't obey anyone. They don't accept the Lord's warnings. They don't trust in him. They don't ask their God for his help.

3. Their officials are like roaring lions. Their rulers are like wolves that hunt in the evening. They don't leave anything to eat in the morning.

4. Their prophets are proud. They can't be trusted. Their priests pollute the temple. They break the law they teach others to obey.
