Zephaniah 3:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴Her prophets are wanton,
    faithless men;
her priests profane what is sacred,
    they do violence to the law.
⁵The Lord within her is righteous,
    he does no wrong;
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 none walks in them;
their cities have been made desolate,
    without a man, without an inhabitant.
