Revised Literal Translation

Zephaniah 3:1-4

1Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!1

2She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Yhwh; she drew not near to her God.2

3Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
