TRUST Zephaniah 3:1-2

Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys no one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in the LORD, she does not draw near to her God. 

Woe to the city of oppressors 
Jeremiah 6:6  This is what the LORD Almighty says: "Cut down the trees and build siege ramps against Jerusalem. This city must be punished; it is filled with oppression."

rebellious 
Psalm 78:8  They would not be like their ancestors--a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to God, whose spirits were not faithful to him.
Jeremiah 5:23  "But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away."

and defiled 
Ezekiel 23:29-30  "They will deal with you in hatred and take away everything you have worked for. They will leave you stark naked, and the shame of your prostitution will be exposed. Your lewdness and promiscuity have brought this on you, because you lusted after the nations and defiled yourself with their idols."

She obeys no one 
Jeremiah 22:21  "I warned you when you felt secure, but you said, 'I will not listen!' This has been your way from your youth; you have not obeyed me."

she accepts no correction 
Leviticus 26:23-24  " 'If in spite of these things you do not accept my correction but continue to be hostile toward me, I myself will be hostile toward you and will afflict you for your sins seven times over.' "
Jeremiah 7:28  "Therefore say to them, ' This is the nation that has not obeyed the LORD its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.' "

She does not trust in the LORD 
Deuteronomy 1:32-33  In spite of this, you did not trust in the LORD your God, who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.

she does not draw near to her God 
Psalm 73:28  But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign LORD my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.
