"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 with Apocrypha
“Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.”
“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.”
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.
