Zephaniah 3:1-5

Rotherham(i) 1 Alas for her that is rebellious, and polluted, the city that oppresseth! 2 She hath hearkened to no voice, accepted no correction; in Yahweh, hath not trusted, to her God, hath not drawn near: 3 Her rulers in her midst, are roaring lions,––her judges, evening wolves, they have left nothing until morning! 4 Her prophets, are reckless, treacherous men! her priests, have profaned the holy, done violence to law. 5 Yahweh, the Righteous One, is in her midst, he dealeth not perversely,––Morning by morning, his justice, bringeth he forth the light, He is not found lacking, but the perverse man knoweth no shame.
