Zephaniah 3:4-6
New Living Translation
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.
Zephaniah 3:4-6

4 Her prophets are unprincipled;
they are treacherous people.(A)
Her priests profane the sanctuary
and do violence to the law.(B)
5 The Lord within her is righteous;(C)
he does no wrong.(D)
Morning by morning(E) he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail,(F)
yet the unrighteous know no shame.(G)
Jerusalem Remains Unrepentant
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;(H)
they are deserted and empty.
