Zephaniah 3 — Context

1

Woe to the provocatrix and the redeemed city, the dove.

2

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.

3

Her leaders are in her midst like roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing for the morning.

4

Her prophets are crazed; men without faith. Her priests have polluted what is holy; they have acted unjustly against the law.

5

The just Lord is in their midst; he will not do iniquity. In the morning, in the morning, he will bring his judgment into the light, and it will not be hidden. But the impious one has not known shame.
