" 9 Clearly the prophet is here assuming that his hearers are familiar with the conditions under which these merchants acquired their wealth. (3) The civil and religious rulers are unworthy of trust. " Her judges are evening wolves ; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her prophets sZeph. 1: 8. » Zeph. 1: 10, 11. 122 THE SOCIAL TEACHINGS are light and treacherous persons; her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law. " 10 This is a description of a terrible s...tate of affairs.
