Transcription: In the early days of Josiah's reign, the prophet Zephaniah spoke out against the decadence spreading throughout Judah. Other prophets had come from peasant stock. Zephaniah proudly traced his ancestry back to King Hezekiah. Yet, unlike others of high social standing, he didn't try to defend the upper classes. Rather, he accused them of chief responsibility for the decay in Judah. The officials, the priests, the rulers, the judges, even the prophets. These are the targets of Zephaniah's rage.
