American Standard Version
"Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. "
— Zephaniah 3:4, American Standard Version
“Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.”
“Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.”
“Her prophets are proud; they are deceitful men. Her priests have defiled what is holy; they have broken God’s laws.”
“Her prophets are senseless, men without faith: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have acted unjustly against the law.”
“Her prophets are good-for-nothing persons, full of deceit: her priests have made the holy place unclean and have gone violently against the law.”
“Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.”
Woe to her that is rebellious and polluted! to the oppressing city!
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in Jehovah; she drew not near to her God.
Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they leave nothing till the morrow.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests have profaned the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Jehovah in the midst of her is righteous; he will not do iniquity; every morning doth he bring his justice to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
I have cut off nations; their battlements are desolate; I have made their streets waste, so that none passeth by; their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.
I said, Only fear thou me; receive correction; so her dwelling shall not be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her: but they rose early and corrupted all their doings.
