START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Zephaniah 3:1-7
Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just Lord is 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.
6 I 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.
7 I 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, and corrupted all their doings.
WOE TO THE CITY OF OPPRESSORS / ZEPHANIAH 3:1-7
After condemning the other nations, Zephaniah turned his attention back to Jerusalem and God’s people. They had become rebellious toward God and opposed to His law. Moral corruption and ungodliness of heart and actions had moved into every level of society. People everywhere were refusing to listen to God’s true prophets.
