Zephaniah 3:5

In context

3Her princes within her roaring lions; her judges evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4Her prophets light treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.

5The just LORD 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.

6I 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.

7I 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, corrupted all their doings.
