Unchecked Copy BoxZep 3:3 - Her heads in her midst are roaring lions, Her judges are evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxZep 3:4 - Her prophets unstable -- men of treachery, Her priests have polluted the sanctuary, They have violated the law.

Unchecked Copy BoxZep 3:20 - At that time I bring you in, Even at the time of My assembling you, For I give you for a name, and for a praise, Among all peoples of the land, In My turning back to your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah!
