Zephaniah 3:1-5

CAB(i) 1 (3:1A) Alas the glorious and ransomed city. 2 The dove hearkened not to the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord, and she drew not near to her God. 3 Her princes within her were as roaring lions, her judges as the wolves of Arabia; they remained not till the morning. 4 Her prophets are insolent and scornful men: her priests profane the holy things, and sinfully transgress the law. 5 But the righteous Lord is in the midst of her, and He will never do an unjust thing: morning by morning He will bring out His judgment to the light, and it is not hidden, and He knows not injustice by extortion, nor injustice in strife.
