Zephaniah 3:2

Judgment Of Jerusalem And The Nations

¹ Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The tyrannical city!
² She heeded no voice,
She accepted no instruction.
She did not trust in the Lord,
She did not draw near to her God.
³ Her princes within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing for the morning.
