Zephaniah 3:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵The righteous Lord is in her;^(A)
He does no wrong.^(B)
He applies His justice morning by morning;
He does not fail at dawn,
yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.^(C)

⁶I have cut off nations;
their corner towers^(D) are destroyed.
I have laid waste their streets,
with no one to pass through.
Their cities lie devastated,
without a person, without an inhabitant.^(E)
⁷I thought: You will certainly fear Me
and accept correction.
Then her dwelling place^[a]
would not be cut off
based on all that I had allocated to her.
However, they became more corrupt
in all their actions.
