Zephaniah
Zephaniah compares officials to roaring lions and judges to evening wolves that leave nothing for morning. He also says prophets are fickle and treacherous, and priests profane what is holy and do violence to the law (Zephaniah 3:3–4).
3Her princes in the midst of her are roaring lions. Her judges are evening wolves. They leave nothing until the next day.
4Her prophets are arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned the sanctuary. They have done violence to the law.
