Zephaniah 3:4-6
New King James Version
Zephaniah 3:4-6
New King James Version
4 Her (A)prophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have [a]polluted the sanctuary,
They have done (B)violence to the law.
5 The Lord is righteous in her midst,
He will do no unrighteousness.
[b]Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But (C)the unjust knows no shame.
6 “I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.
