Context of Zephaniah 3:11

9For I will then restore pure speech to the peoples so that all of them may call on the name of the Lord and serve him with a single purpose. 10From beyond the rivers of Cush my supplicants, my dispersed people, will bring an offering to me. On that day you will not be put to shame because of everything you have done in rebelling against me. For then I will remove from among you your jubilant, arrogant people, and you will never again be haughty on my holy mountain. 12I will leave a meek and humble people among you, and they will take refuge in the name of the Lord. 13The remnant of Israel will no longer do wrong or tell lies; a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouths. They will pasture and lie down, with nothing to make them afraid.
