New Testament

Tzefanyah 3:1-4 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Hoy (woe) to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city [i.e.,Jerusalem]!

2. She obeyed not the voice; she received not musar (correction); her bitachon (trust) was not in Hashem; she drew not near to her G-d.

3. Her sarim (princes) within her are roaring arayot; her shofetim are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the boker (morning).

4. Her nevi'im are arrogant, anshei bogedot (treacherous persons); her kohanim have profaned the kodesh, they have done violence to the torah [T.N. which they were ordained to faithfully observe and teach].
