Zephaniah 3:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
She obeyed no voice,
She accepted no discipline.
She did not trust in the
Lord
,
She did not approach her God.
3
Her leaders within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They have no bones to gnaw in the morning.
4
Her prophets are insolent, treacherous men;
Her priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the Law.
5
The
Lord
is righteous within her;
He will do no injustice.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He does not fail.
But the criminal knows no shame.
6
'I have eliminated nations;
Their corner towers are deserted.
I have laid waste their streets,
With no one passing by;
Their cities have been laid waste,
Without a person, without an inhabitant.
7
I said, ‘You will certainly revere Me,
You will accept discipline.’
So her dwelling will not be eliminated
In accordance with
everything that I have stipulated for her.
Instead, they were eager to corrupt all their deeds.
King James Version
Chapter 3
2
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the
Lord
; she drew not near to her God.
3
Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5
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.
6
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.
7
I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
2
She has not obeyed;
she has not accepted discipline.
She has not trusted in the
Lord
;
she has not drawn near to her God.
3
The princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are wolves of the night,
which leave nothing for the morning.
4
Her prophets are reckless —
treacherous men.
Her priests profane the sanctuary;
they do violence to instruction.
5
The righteous
Lord
is in her;
he does no wrong.
He applies his justice morning by morning;
he does not fail at dawn,
yet the one who does wrong knows no shame.
6
I have cut off nations;
their corner towers are destroyed.
I have laid waste their streets,
with no one to pass through.
Their cities lie devastated,
without a person, without an inhabitant.
7
I thought: You will certainly fear me
and accept correction.
Then her dwelling place
would not be cut off
based on all that I had allocated to her.
However, they became more corrupt
in all their actions.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
2
No one can tell it anything;
it refuses all correction.
It does not trust in the
Lord
or draw near to its God.
3
Its leaders are like roaring lions
hunting for their victims.
Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time,
who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
4
Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain.
Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God’s instructions.
5
But the
Lord
is still there in the city,
and he does no wrong.
Day by day he hands down justice,
and he does not fail.
But the wicked know no shame.
6
'I have wiped out many nations,
devastating their fortress walls and towers.
Their streets are now deserted;
their cities lie in silent ruin.
There are no survivors —
none at all.
7
I thought, ‘Surely they will have reverence for me now!
Surely they will listen to my warnings.
Then I won’t need to strike again,
destroying their homes.’
But no, they get up early
to continue their evil deeds.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
2
She listens to no voice;
she accepts no correction.
She does not trust in the
Lord
;
she does not draw near to her God.
3
Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
4
Her prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
her priests profane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
5
The
Lord
within her is righteous;
he does no injustice;
every morning he shows forth his justice;
each dawn he does not fail;
but the unjust knows no shame.
6
"I have cut off nations;
their battlements are in ruins;
I have laid waste their streets
so that no one walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
without a man, without an inhabitant.
7
I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
you will accept correction.
Then your dwelling would not be cut off
according to all that I have appointed against you.’
But all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
New International Version
Chapter 3
2
She obeys no one,
she accepts no correction.
She does not trust in the
Lord
,
she does not draw near to her God.
3
Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her rulers are evening wolves,
who leave nothing for the morning.
4
Her prophets are unprincipled;
they are treacherous people.
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.
5
The
Lord
within her is righteous;
he does no wrong.
Morning by morning he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,
yet the unrighteous know no shame.
6
"I have destroyed nations;
their strongholds are demolished.
I have left their streets deserted,
with no one passing through.
Their cities are laid waste;
they are deserted and empty.
7
Of Jerusalem I thought,
‘Surely you will fear me
and accept correction!’
Then her place of refuge would not be destroyed,
nor all my punishments come upon her.
But they were still eager
to act corruptly in all they did.
New King James Version

She has not obeyed
His
voice,
She has not received correction;
She has not trusted in the
Lord
,
She has not drawn near to her God.

are
roaring lions;
Her judges
are
evening wolves
That leave not a bone till morning.
4
Her prophets are insolent, treacherous people;
Her priests have polluted the sanctuary,
They have done violence to the law.
5
The
Lord
is
righteous in her midst,
He will do no unrighteousness.
Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But the unjust knows no shame.
6
“I have cut off nations,
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is
no one, no inhabitant.
7
I said, ‘Surely you will fear Me,
You will receive instruction’—
So that her dwelling would not be cut off,
Despite
everything for which I punished her.
But they rose early and corrupted all their deeds.
