Zephaniah 3:1-5

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Ah, soiled, defiled, oppressing city!

2 It has listened to no voice; it has accepted no correction. It has not trusted in the Lord; it has not drawn near to its God.

3 The officials within it are roaring lions; its judges are evening wolves that leave nothing until the morning.

4 Its prophets are reckless, faithless persons; its priests have profaned what is sacred, they have done violence to the law.

5 The Lord within it is righteous; he does no wrong. Every morning he renders his judgment, each dawn without fail; but the unjust knows no shame.

New International Version NIV

1 Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!

2 She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God.

3 Her officials within her are roaring lions; her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning.

4 Her prophets are unprincipled; they are treacherous people. Her priests profane the sanctuary and do violence to the law.

5 The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.
