Zephaniah 3:3

Verse Zephaniah 3:3. Her princes - are roaring lions] Tearing all to pieces without shadow of law, except their own despotic power.

Her judges are evening wolves] Being a little afraid of the lion-like princes, they practise their unjust dealings from evening to morning, and take the day to find their rest.

They gnaw not the bones till the morrow.] They devour the flesh in the night, and gnaw the bones and extract the marrow afterwards. They use all violence and predatory oppression, like wild beasts; they shun the light, and turn day into night by their revellings.
