Zephaniah 3

1WoeH1945 to her that is rebellious and corrupted, to the oppressingH3238 cityH5892! 2She hearkened not to the voiceH6963; she receivedH3947 not correctionH4148; she confided not in Jehovah; she drewH7126 not near her 1GodH430. 3Her princesH8269 in the midstH7130 of her are roaringH7580 lionsH738; her judgesH8199 are eveningH6153 wolvesH2061, that leave nothing for the morningH1242. 4Her prophetsH5030 are vain-glorious, treacherous personsH376; her priestsH3548 profaneH2490 the sanctuaryH6944, they do violenceH2554 to the lawH8451. 5The righteousH6662 Jehovah is in the midstH7130 of her: he doeth no wrong. Every morningH1242 doth he bring his judgmentH4941 to lightH216; it faileth not: but the unrighteous knoweth no shameH1322. 6I have cutH3772 off nationsH1471: their battlements are desolateH8074; I madeH3772 their streetsH2351 waste, that none passeth by; their citiesH5892 are destroyed, so that there is no manH376, so that there is no inhabitantH3427. 7I saidH559, OnlyH389 fearH3372 me, receiveH3947 correctionH4148; so her dwelling shall not be cutH3772 off, howsoever I may punishH6485 her. But they roseH7925 earlyH7925, they corruptedH7843 all their doings. 8ThereforeH3651 waitH2442 ye for me, saith Jehovah, until the dayH3117 that I riseH6965 up to the prey; for my determination is to assemble the nationsH1471, that I may gatherH6908 the kingdomsH4467 together, to pourH8210 upon them mine indignationH2195, — all my fierce angerH639: for all the earthH776 shall be devouredH398 with the fireH784 of my jealousyH7068. 9For thenH227 will I turnH2015 to the peoplesH5971 a pureH1305 languageH8193, that they may all callH7121 upon the nameH8034 of Jehovah, to serveH5647 him with oneH259 consent. 10From beyond the riversH5104 of CushH3568 my suppliants, the daughterH1323 of my dispersed, shall bringH2986 mine oblation. 11In that dayH3117 thou shalt not be ashamedH954 for all thy doings wherein thou hast transgressedH6586 against me; for thenH227 I will take awayH5493 out of the midstH7130 of thee them that exult in thy prideH1346, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holyH6944 mountainH2022. 12And I will leaveH7604 in the midstH7130 of thee an afflictedH6041 and poorH6041 peopleH5971, and they shall trust in the nameH8034 of Jehovah. 13The remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 shall not work unrighteousnessH5766, nor speakH1696 liesH3577; neither shall a deceitful tongueH3956 be foundH4672 in their mouthH6310: but they shall feedH7462 and lieH7257 down, and none shall makeH6213 them afraid. 14ExultH5937, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726; shoutH7321, O IsraelH3478; rejoiceH8055 and be gladH8055 with all the heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389: 15Jehovah hath taken awayH5493 thy judgmentsH4941, he hath cast out thine enemyH341; the KingH4428 of IsraelH3478, Jehovah, is in the midstH7130 of thee; thou shalt not see evilH7451 any more. 16In that dayH3117 it shall be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389, FearH3372 not; ZionH6726, let not thy handsH3027 be slackH7503. 17Jehovah thy 2GodH430 is in thy midstH7130, a mightyH1368 oneH1368 that will saveH3467: he will rejoiceH1523 over thee with joyH8057; he will rest in his loveH160; he will exultH7797 over thee with singing. 18I will gatherH622 them that sorrow for the solemn assemblies, who wereH1961 of thee: the reproachH2781 of it wasH1961 a burden [unto them]. 19Behold, at that timeH6256 I will deal with all them that afflictH6031 thee; and I will saveH3467 her that halted, and gatherH6908 her that was drivenH5080 out; and I will makeH7760 them a praiseH8416 and a nameH8034 in all the landsH776 where they have been putH7760 to shameH1322. 20At that timeH6256 will I bringH935 you, yea, at the timeH6256 that I gatherH6908 you; for I will makeH5414 you a nameH8034 and a praiseH8416, among all the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776, when I shall turnH7725 again your captivityH7622 before your eyesH5869, saith Jehovah.
