Zephaniah - 3:3 Meaning
“Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
3:1-7 The holy God hates sin most in those nearest to him. A sinful state is, and will be, a woful state. Yet they had the tokens of God's presence, and all the advantages of knowing his will, with the strongest reasons to do it; still they persisted in disobedience. Alas, that men often are more active in doing wickedness than believers are in doing good.
“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
