Zephaniah 3:9-20

9ForH3588 thenH227 I will restoreH2015 pureH1305 lipsH8193 toH413 the peoplesH5971, that allH3605 may callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 and serve HimH5647 shoulderH7926 to shoulderH259.10From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of CushH3568 1 My worshipersH6282, My scatteredH6327 peopleH1323, will bring MeH2986 an offeringH4503.11On thatH1931 dayH3117 you will notH3808 be put to shameH954 for anyH3605 of the deedsH5949 by whichH834 you have transgressedH6586 against Me. ForH3588 thenH227 I will removeH5493 from among youH7130 those who rejoiceH5947 in their prideH1346, and you will neverH3808 againH3254 H5750 be haughtyH1361 on My holyH6944 mountainH2022.12But I will leaveH7604 within youH7130 a meekH6041 and humbleH1800 peopleH5971, and they will trustH2620 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.13The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 will no longerH3808 doH6213 wrongH5766 or speakH1696 liesH3577, nor willH3808 a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouthsH6310. ButH3588 theyH1992 will feedH7462 and lie downH7257, with no oneH369 to make them trembleH2729.”

14Sing for joyH7442, O DaughterH1323 of ZionH6726;shout aloudH7321, O IsraelH3478!Be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5937 with allH3605 your heartH3820,O DaughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!15The LORDH3068 has taken awayH5493 your punishmentH4941;He has turned backH6437 your enemyH341.Israel’sH3478 KingH4428, the LORDH3068, is among youH7130;noH3808 longerH5750 will you fearH3372 any harmH7451.16On thatH1931 dayH3117 they will sayH559 to JerusalemH3389:“Do notH408 fearH3372, O ZionH6726;do notH408 let your handsH3027 fall limpH7503.17The LORDH3068 your GodH430 is among youH7130;He is mightyH1368 to saveH3467.He will rejoiceH7797 over youH5921 with gladnessH8057;He will quietH2790 you with His loveH160;2He will rejoiceH1523 over youH5921 with singingH7440.”

18“I will gatherH622 those among youH4480 who grieveH3013over the appointed feastsH4150,so thatH1961 you will no longer sufferH4864 reproachH2781 .19BeholdH2005, at thatH1931 timeH6256,I will dealH6213 with allH3605 who afflict youH6031.I will saveH3467 the lameH6760and gatherH6908 the scatteredH5080;and I will appointH7760 praiseH8416 and fameH8034for the disgracedH1322 throughoutH3605 the earthH776.20At thatH1931 timeH6256 I will bringH935 you inH853;yes, at that timeH6256 I will gatherH6908 youH853.ForH3588 I will giveH5414 youH853 fameH8034 and praiseH8416among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776when I restoreH7725 your captivesH7622 3before your very eyesH5869,”saysH559 the LORDH3068.
