Zephaniah 3:1-4 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,the oppressing city.

2. She obeys no voice,she receives no correction;she does not trust in the Lord,she does not draw near to her God.

3. Her princes within her are roaring lions;her judges are evening wolveswho leave nothing until the morning.

4. Her prophets are reckless,treacherous men;her priests have profaned the sanctuaryand done violence to the law.
