Zephaniah:3:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted ,
to the oppressing city !
*
She obeyed not the voice ;
she received not correction ;
she trusted not in the LORD ;
she drew not near to her God .
*
Her princes within her are roaring lions ;
her judges are evening wolves z @#
eb #;
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 .
*
I have cut off the nations :
their towers are desolate ;
I made their streets waste ,
that none passeth by :
their cities are destroyed ,
so that there is no man ,
that there is none inhabitant .
*
I said ,
Surely thou wilt fear me ,
thou wilt receive instruction ;
so their dwelling should not be cut off ,
howsoever #
H3605I punished them :
but they rose early ,
and corrupted all their doings .
*
Therefore wait ye upon me ,
saith the LORD ,
until the day that I rise up to the prey :
for my determination is to gather the nations ,
that I may assemble the kingdoms ,
to pour upon them mine indignation za #
am #,
even all my fierce anger :
for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy qin #
ah #.
