Zephaniah 3:1–3

WOE TO OPPRESSIVE JERUSALEM

3 Woe to the city that is rebelliousB,a and defiled,b

the oppressive city!

2 She has not obeyed;c

she has not accepted discipline.d

She has not trustede in the Lord;

she has not drawn near to her God.

3 TheC princes within her are roaring lions;f

her judges are wolves of the night,g

which leave nothing forD the morning.
