Zephaniah 3:4
| ← Zephaniah 3:3 | Zephaniah 3:4 (KJV) | Zephaniah 3:5 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
