Zephaniah 3:4
King James Version
“Her prophets light treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.”
Context
1Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
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.
