" Woe to the provocatrix and the redeemed city, the dove."
— Zephaniah 3:1, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!”
“Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city! ”
“Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, the oppressing city!”
“Jerusalem is Corrupt Beware to the filthy, stained city; the city filled with oppressors!”
“Woe to the provoking and redeemed city, the dove.”
“Sorrow to her who is uncontrolled and unclean, the cruel town!”
“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!”
Woe to the provocatrix and the redeemed city, the dove.
She has not heeded the voice, nor has she accepted discipline. She has not trusted in the Lord; she did not draw near to her God.
Her leaders are in her midst like roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the morning.
Her prophets are crazed; men without faith. Her priests have polluted what is holy; they have acted unjustly against the law.
