Zephaniah 3:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
5 The Lord within it is righteous;
he does no wrong.
Every morning he renders his judgement,
each dawn without fail;
but the unjust knows no shame.
6 I have cut off nations;
their battlements are in ruins;
I have laid waste their streets
so that no one walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
without people, without inhabitants.
7 I said, ‘Surely the city[a] will fear me,
it will accept correction;
it will not lose sight[b]
of all that I have brought upon it.’
But they were the more eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
