Zephaniah 3:3

3 Her officials in her midst [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they leave nothing until the morning.

Zephaniah 3:3 In-Context

1 Woe [to you], O rebellious and defiled one! The oppressing city!
2 She listens to no voice; she does not accept correction. In Yahweh she does not trust; to her God she does not draw near.
3 Her officials in her midst [are] roaring lions; her judges [are] evening wolves; they leave nothing until the morning.
4 Her prophets [are] arrogant men of treachery; her priests have defiled [that which is] holy; they do violence to [the] law.
5 Yahweh [is] righteous in her midst; he does not do wickedness. {Morning by morning} he renders his judgment; at dawn he does not fail, but an evil one knows no shame.
