Zephaniah 3:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 Her prophets are (A)reckless, treacherous men;
Her (B)priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.
5 Yahweh is (C)righteous (D)in her midst;
He will (E)do no injustice.
(F)Every morning He brings His justice to light;
[a]He does not fail.
But the unjust (G)knows no shame.
6 “I have cut off nations;
Their corner towers are desolate.
I have made their streets (H)a waste,
With no one passing by;
Their (I)cities are laid waste,
Without a man, (J)without an inhabitant.
