Zephaniah 3:3 Context
1Woe to her that is filthie and polluted, to the oppressing citie. 2She obeyed not the voice: she receiued not correction: she trusted not in the Lord: she drew not neere to her God. 3Her princes within her are roaring lyons; her Iudges are euening wolues, they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. 4Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests haue polluted the Sanctuarie, they haue done violence to the Law. 5The iust Lord is in the middest thereof: he will not doe iniquitie: euery morning doeth hee bring his iudgement to light, he faileth not: but the vniust knoweth no shame.
