Zephaniah 3:2-4

Expanded Bible

² It obeys no voice;
    it ·can’t be taught to do right [receives/accepts no correction].
It doesn’t trust the Lord;
    it doesn’t ·worship [^Ldraw near to] its God.
³ Its ·officers [princes] are like roaring lions.
    Its ·rulers [or judges] are ·like hungry wolves that attack in the evening [^Levening wolves],
    and in the morning ·nothing is left of those they attacked [^Lthere is no gnawing].
⁴ Its prophets are proud;
    they are ·people who cannot be trusted [treacherous people].
Its priests ·don’t respect [profane] ·holy things [or the sanctuary];
    they ·break [^Ldo violence to] God’s ·teachings [law; ^LTorah].
