Zephaniah 3:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Zephaniah 3:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 Forever rebellious
and rejecting correction,
Jerusalem refuses to trust
or obey the Lord God.
3 Its officials are roaring lions,
its judges are wolves;
in the evening they attack,
by morning nothing is left.
4 Jerusalem's prophets are proud
and not to be trusted.
The priests have disgraced
the place of worship
and abused God's Law.

they are treacherous people.(H)
