Zephaniah 3:2-6 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

2. She did not obey the voice, she did not accept instruction, she did not trust in יהוה, she did not draw near to her Elohim.

3. Her rulers in her midst are roaring lions, her judges are evening wolves, they shall leave no bone until morning.

4. Her prophets are reckless, treacherous men. Her priests have profaned the set-apart place, they have done violence to the Torah.

5. יהוה is righteous in her midst, He does no unrighteousness. Morning by morning He brings His right-ruling to light, it has not been lacking, yet the unrighteous one knows no shame.

6. “I have cut off nations, their corner towers are in ruins. I have made their streets deserted, with no one passing by. Their cities are destroyed, without man, without inhabitant.
