Zephaniah 3:1-7

Judgment on Jerusalem’s Wickedness

Zephaniah 3:1-7
1
Woe to her who is filthy, defiled; woe to the tyrant city!
2
She wouldn't listen to the voice, wouldn't receive correction; she didn't trust in ADONAI, didn't draw close to her God.
3
Her leaders there with her are roaring lions, her judges desert wolves, who don't leave even a bone for tomorrow.
4
Her prophets are reckless, treacherous men; her cohanim profane the holy and do violence to Torah.
5
ADONAI, who is righteous, is there among them; he never does anything wrong. Every morning he renders his judgment, every morning, without fail; yet the wrongdoer knows no shame.
6
"I have cut off nations, their battlements are ruined; I have made their streets ruins, no one walks in them. Their cities are destroyed, abandoned, unpeopled.
7
I said, 'Surely now you will fear me, you will receive correction'; so that her place will not be cut off by all the punishments I brought on her. But no, they only grew all the more eager to be corrupt in all that they do.
