Zephaniah 3:1-7

1WoeH1945 to her who is 1rebelliousH4784 and 2defiledH1351, The 3oppressiveH3238 cityH5892!2She 4obeyedH8085 noH3808 voiceH6963, She 5acceptedH3947 noH3808 disciplineH4148. She did not 6trustH982 in the LordH3068, She did not 7approachH7126 her GodH430.3Her 8leadersH8269 withinH7130 her are roaringH7580 lionsH738, Her judgesH8199 are 9wolvesH2061 at eveningH6153; They haveH1633 noH3808 bonesH1633 toH1633 gnawH1633 in the morningH1242.4Her prophetsH5030 are 10insolentH6348, treacherousH900 menH376; Her 11priestsH3548 have profanedH2490 the sanctuaryH6944. They have doneH2554 violenceH2554 to the LawH8451.5The LordH3068 is 12righteousH6662 13withinH7130 her; He will 14doH6213 noH3808 injusticeH5767. 15EveryH1242 morningH1242 He bringsH5414 His justiceH4941 to lightH216; He 16does not failH5737. But the 17criminalH5767 18knowsH3045 noH3808 shameH1322.6“I have eliminatedH3772 nationsH1471; Their cornerH6438 towersH6438 areH8074 desertedH8074. I have 19laidH2717 wasteH2717 their streetsH2351, With noH1097 oneH1097 passingH5674 byH5674; Their 20citiesH5892 have been laidH6658 wasteH6658, WithoutH4480H1097 a personH376, 21withoutH4480H369 an inhabitantH3427.7I saidH559, ‘You will certainlyH389 revereH3372 Me, You will 22acceptH3947 disciplineH4148.’ So her dwellingH4583 will 23not be eliminatedH3772 In accordance with everythingH3605 that I have stipulatedH6485 for her. Instead, they wereH7925 eagerH7925 to 24corruptH7843 allH3605 their deedsH5949.
