1Woe to the city of oppressors,
rebellious and defiled!
2She heeded no voice;
she accepted no correction.
She does not trust in the LORD;
she has not drawn near to her God.
3Her princes are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves,
leaving nothing for the morning.
4Her prophets are reckless,
faithless men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to the law.
5The LORD within her is righteous;
He does no wrong.
He applies His justice morning by morning;
He does not fail at dawn,
yet the unjust know no shame.
— Zephaniah 3:1-5
