Zephaniah 3:4 in Context — Zephaniah 3
2 Ela não ouve a voz, nem aceita o castigo; não confia no SENHOR, não se achega a seu Deus.
3 Seus príncipes no meio dela são leões que rugem; seus juízes são lobos da noite que nada deixam para a manhã [seguinte] .
4 Seus profetas são levianos, homens enganadores; seus sacerdotes profanam o santuário, [e] violentam a lei.
5 O SENHOR é justo em meio dela, não faz perversidade; de manhã ele tira seu juízo à luz, nunca falha; mas o injusto não conhece a vergonha.
6 Exterminei as nações; suas muralhas estão arruinadas, suas ruas estão desertas, de maneira que ninguém passe por elas; suas cidades estão desoladas de maneira que ninguém restou, nenhum morador sequer.
