Zephaniah 3:1 - 3:7
The Unjust Knows No Shame
Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The oppressive city!
2 She did not listen to any voice;
She did not receive discipline.
She did not trust in Yahweh;
She did not draw near to her God.
3 Her princes in her midst are roaring lions;
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing to gnaw for the morning.
4 Her prophets are reckless, treacherous men;
Her priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.
5 Yahweh is righteous in her midst;
He will do no injustice.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He does not fail.
But the unjust knows no shame.
6 “I have cut off nations;
Their corner towers are desolate.
I have made their streets a waste,
With no one passing by;
Their cities are laid waste,
Without a man, without an inhabitant.
7 I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
Receive discipline.’
So her abode will not be cut off
According to all that I have appointed concerning her.
But they were eager to corrupt all their deeds.
