Context of Zephaniah 3:14
12But I will leave among you A humble and lowly people, And they will take refuge and trust confidently in the name of the Lord. 13The remnant of Israel will do no wrong Nor speak lies, Nor will a deceitful tongue Be found in their mouths; For they will eat and lie down With no one to make them tremble and feel afraid.” Shout for joy, O Daughter of Zion!
