###### Zephaniah 3:2

לֹ֤א שָֽׁמְעָה֙ בְּק֔וֹל לֹ֥א לָקְחָ֖ה מוּסָ֑ר בַּֽיהֹוָה֙ לֹ֣א בָטָ֔חָה אֶל־אֱלֹהֶ֖יהָ לֹ֥א קָרֵֽבָה׃

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
She did not obey the voice; she did not accept correction; she did not trust in the Lord; she did not draw near to her God.

[Zephaniah 3:5](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zephaniah/r/3:5)

יְהֹוָ֤ה צַדִּיק֙ בְּקִרְבָּ֔הּ לֹ֥א יַעֲשֶׂ֖ה עַוְלָ֑ה בַּבֹּ֨קֶר בַּבֹּ֜קֶר מִשְׁפָּט֨וֹ יִתֵּ֤ן לָאוֹר֙ לֹ֣א נֶעְדָּ֔ר וְלֹא־יוֹדֵ֥עַ עַוָּ֖ל בֹּֽשֶׁת׃

The Lord is just; he is in her midst; he will not do iniquity: every morning he brings his judgment to light; it does not fail; but the unjust knows no shame.

[Zephaniah 3:6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Zephaniah/r/3:6)

הִכְרַ֣תִּי גוֹיִ֗ם נָשַׁ֙מּוּ֙ פִּנּוֹתָ֔ם הֶחֱרַ֥בְתִּי חוּצוֹתָ֖ם מִבְּלִ֣י עוֹבֵ֑ר נִצְדּ֧וּ עָרֵיהֶ֛ם מִבְּלִי־אִ֖ישׁ מֵאֵ֥ין יוֹשֵֽׁב׃

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt accept correction; then her dwelling would not have been cut off, according to all that I had threatened to bring upon her. However, they were up early and corrupted all their doings.

**The Koren Jerusalem Bible:**
Therefore wait for me, says the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them my indignation, all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
