1 The filthy, stained city is as good as dead; the city filled with oppressors is finished! 2 She is disobedient; she refuses correction. She does not trust the LORD; she does not seek the advice of her God. 3 Her princes are as fierce as roaring lions; her rulers are as hungry as wolves in the desert, who completely devour their prey by morning. 4 Her prophets are proud; they are deceitful men. Her priests defile what is holy; they break God's laws. Zephaniah 3:1-4, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
