Zephaniah 3:14-17

14Sing, you people in Zion. You are my own people, like my own daughter. Shout, you people in Israel! Be very, very happy, my people in Jerusalem!

15The Lord has not punished you as he would have done. He has sent your enemy away. I, the King of Israel, am with you! The bad times have gone. They will not happen again!

16On that special day, this will be my message for Jerusalem. ‘Do not be afraid now! Do not be weak now!

17The Lord, your God, is with you. He is strong. He will save you. He will be very happy about you! He will quietly love you. He will sing, because he is so happy about you!
