Zephaniah 3:4 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Her prophets; by education, profession, and unwarranted practice called so, false prophets; such Zedekiah, and probably Chenaanah, &c., were. Are light; unstable and inconstant, ready to comply with humours which they should have reproved, 1 Kings 22:13. Treacherous persons; men of treacheries, whatever pleasing temper they seem to be of, yet still they design treachery; the Hebrew seems to run it higher, treacheries in the abstract. Her priests, of the house of Levi, of the stock of Aaron, have polluted the sanctuary; bound by office to keep holy the sanctuary, have defiled it, and all that is holy. Have done violence to the law; wresting it by perverse interpretation to what sense best serveth a corrupt mind.
