Zephaniah 3:1-5

She did not listen to a voice; she did not accept discipline. In Jehovah she did not trust. To her God she did not draw near.

¹⁹ Both ancient Jerusalem and modern-day Christendom rebelled against Jehovah and polluted themselves with false worship. The wrongdoing of their leaders resulted in oppression. Despite God’s repeated warnings, they did not listen and draw near to him.
