The Wickedness of Jerusalem
She has not received correction;
She has not trusted in the Lord,
She has not drawn near to her God.
Her judges are bevening wolves
That leave not a bone till morning.
Her priests have1 polluted the sanctuary,
They have done bviolence to the law.
He will do no unrighteousness.
1Every morning He brings His justice to light;
He never fails,
But athe unjust knows no shame.
Their fortresses are devastated;
I have made their streets desolate,
With none passing by.
Their cities are destroyed;
There is no one, no inhabitant.

Zephaniah 3:3
Her princes - Persons of principal place and authority. Lions - Which hunt for prey, and are ever affrighting or devouring. Wolves - Insatiable and cruel, like wolves of the evening, whetted with hunger. Gnaw not the bones - They leave nothing but the bones to be eaten on the morrow.
