Zephaniah 3:4-6
New International Version
4 Her prophets are unprincipled;
they are treacherous people.(A)
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.(B)
5 The Lord within her is righteous;(C)
he does no wrong.(D)
Morning by morning(E) he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,(F)
yet the unrighteous know no shame.(G)
Jerusalem Remains Unrepentant
6 “I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;(H)
they are deserted and empty.
Zephaniah 3:4-6
King James Version
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
