Zephaniah 3:4-6
Names of God Bible
4 Its prophets are reckless and unfaithful.
Its priests contaminate what is holy.
They violate the teachings.
5 The righteous Yahweh is in that city.
He does no wrong.
He brings his judgment to light every morning.
He does not fail.
But those who are perverted are shameless.
6 “I will cut off the nations.
Their towers will be destroyed.
I will demolish their streets.
No one will walk through them.
Their cities will be completely destroyed.
Not a single person will be left.
No one will be living there.
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.
