3:1 這悖逆、污穢、欺壓的城有禍了！
3:2 她不聽從命令，不領受訓誨，不倚靠耶和華，不親近她的上帝。
3:3 她中間的首領是咆哮的獅子；她的審判官是晚上的豺狼，一點食物也不留到早晨。
3:4 她的先知是虛浮詭詐的人；她的祭司褻瀆聖所，強解律法。
3:5 耶和華在她中間是公義的，斷不做非義的事，每早晨顯明他的公義，無日不然；只是不義的人不知羞恥。
Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
the oppressing city!
She
listens to no voice;
she accepts no correction.
She does not trust in the Lord;
she does not draw near to her God.
Her
officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
Her
prophets are fickle, treacherous men;
her priests profane what is holy;
they do violence to the law.
The
Lord within her is righteous;
he does no injustice;
every morning he shows forth his justice;
each dawn he does not fail;
but the unjust knows no shame.

西番雅書讀起來十分沉重，是因為他一直述說著人的惡！然而人被罪性的影響的情形，真的是如此！也因此，我們在上帝面前一定要承認自己的罪，才有被拯救的機會！才會體會到：耶穌的拯救是必要的！
