Zephaniah 3:1-8
1Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled!2She heeded no voice; she accepted no correction. She does not trust in the LORD; she has not drawn near to her God.3Her princes are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves, leaving nothing for the morning.4Her prophets are reckless, faithless men. Her priests profane the sanctuary; they do violence to the law.5The LORD within her is righteous; He does no wrong. He applies His justice morning by morning; He does not fail at dawn, yet the unjust know no shame.
6“I have cut off the nations;their corner towers are destroyed.I have made their streets desertedwith no one to pass through.Their cities are laid waste,with no man, no inhabitant.7I said, ‘Surely you will fear Meand accept correction.’Then her dwelling place would not be cut offdespite all for which I punished her.But they rose earlyto corrupt all their deeds.8Therefore wait for Me,”declares the LORD,“until the dayI rise to testify.1For My decision is to gather nations,to assemble kingdoms,to pour out upon them My indignation—all My burning anger.For all the earth will be consumedby the fire of My jealousy.
