Zephaniah 3:2-4

New Century Version

² It obeys no voice;
    it can’t be taught to do right.
It doesn’t trust the Lord;
    it doesn’t worship its God.
³ Its officers are like roaring lions.
    Its rulers are like hungry wolves that attack in the evening,
    and in the morning nothing is left of those they attacked.
⁴ Its prophets are proud;
    they are people who cannot be trusted.
Its priests don’t respect holy things;
    they break God’s teachings.
