Zephaniah 3:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

The Future of Jerusalem

3 Jerusalem, your people fought against God. They hurt other people, and you have been stained with sin. ² They didn’t listen to me or accept my teachings. Jerusalem didn’t trust the Lord. Jerusalem didn’t go to her God. ³ Jerusalem’s leaders are like roaring lions. Her judges are like hungry wolves that come in the evening to attack the sheep—and in the morning nothing is left.
