Zephaniah 3:1-3

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Wickedness of Jerusalem

3 Ah, soiled, defiled,
    oppressing city!
²It has listened to no voice;
    it has accepted no correction.
It has not trusted in the Lord;
    it has not drawn near to its God.

³The officials within it
are roaring lions;
its judges are evening wolves
that leave nothing until the morning.
