Zephaniah 3:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ The officials within it
    are roaring lions;
its judges are evening wolves
    that leave nothing until the morning.
⁴ Its prophets are reckless,
    faithless persons;
its priests have profaned what is sacred,
    they have done violence to the law.
⁵ The Lord within it is righteous;
    he does no wrong.
Every morning he renders his judgement,
    each dawn without fail;
    but the unjust knows no shame.
