"Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow."
— Zephaniah 3:3, King James Version
“Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow. ”
“Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.”
“Her princes are as fierce as roaring lions; her rulers are as hungry as wolves in the desert, who completely devour their prey by morning.”
“Her princes are in the midst of her as roaring lions: her judges are evening wolves, they left nothing for the morning.”
“Her rulers are like loud-voiced lions in her; her judges are wolves of the evening, crushing up the bones before the morning.”
“Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.”
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
