Zephaniah 3:2-4

New Living Translation

² No one can tell it anything;
    it refuses all correction.
It does not trust in the Lord
    or draw near to its God.
³ Its leaders are like roaring lions
    hunting for their victims.
Its judges are like ravenous wolves at evening time,
    who by dawn have left no trace of their prey.
⁴ Its prophets are arrogant liars seeking their own gain.
    Its priests defile the Temple by disobeying God’s instructions.
