Zephaniah 3:6-20

6“I have cutH3772 offH3772 nationsH1471; Their cornerH6438 towersH6438 are in ruinsH8074. I have madeH2717 their streetsH2351 1desolateH2717, With noH1097 oneH1097 passingH5674 by; Their 2citiesH5892 are laidH6658 wasteH6658, WithoutH4480H1097 a manH376, 3withoutH4480H369 an inhabitantH3427.7I saidH559, ‘SurelyH389 you will revereH3372 Me, 4AcceptH3947 instructionH4148.’ So her dwellingH4583 will 5not be cutH3772 offH3772 According to allH3605 that I have appointedH6485 concerningH5921 her. But they were eagerH7925 to 6corruptH7843 allH3605 their deedsH5949.

8“ThereforeH3651 7waitH2442 for Me,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068, “For the dayH3117 when I riseH6965 up as a witnessH5707. IndeedH3588, My decisionH4941 is to 8gatherH622 nationsH1471, To assembleH6908 kingdomsH4467, To pourH8210 out on them My indignationH2195, AllH3605 My burningH2740 angerH639; For 9allH3605 the earthH776 will be devouredH398 By the fireH784 of My zealH7068.9For thenH227 I will 10giveH2015 to the peoplesH5971 11purifiedH1305 lipsH8193, That allH3605 of them may 12callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, To serveH5647 Him 13shoulderH7926 to shoulderH7926.10From beyondH5676 the riversH5104 of 14EthiopiaH3568 My 15worshipersH6282, 16My dispersedH1323H6327 ones, Will 17bringH2986 My offeringsH4503.11In that dayH3117 you will 18feelH954 noH3808 shameH954 BecauseH4480 of allH3605 your deedsH5949 By whichH834 you have rebelledH6586 against Me; For thenH227 I will removeH5493 from your midstH7130 Your 19proudH1346, exultingH5947 onesH5947, And you will neverH3808H5750 againH3254 be haughtyH1361 On My 20holyH6944 mountainH2022.12But I will leaveH7604 amongH7130 you A 21humbleH6041 and lowlyH1800 peopleH5971, And they will 22takeH2620 refugeH2620 in the nameH8034 of the LordH3068.13The 23remnantH7611 of IsraelH3478 will 24doH6213 noH3808 wrongH5767 And 25tellH1696 noH3808 liesH3577, NorH3808 will a deceitfulH8649 tongueH3956 Be foundH4672 in their mouthsH6310; For they will 26feedH7462 and lieH7257 downH7257 With noH369 oneH369 to make them trembleH2729.”

14ShoutH7442 for joyH7442, O daughterH1323 of ZionH6726! 27ShoutH7321 in triumph, O IsraelH3478! RejoiceH8055 and exultH5937 with allH3605 your heartH3820, O daughterH1323 of JerusalemH3389!15The LordH3068 has takenH5493 awayH5493 28His judgmentsH4941 against you, He has clearedH6437 awayH6437 your enemiesH340. The KingH4428 of IsraelH3478, the LordH3068, is 29in your midstH7130; You will 30fearH3372 disasterH7451 noH3808 moreH5750.1631In that dayH3117 it will be saidH559 to JerusalemH3389: “32Do not be afraidH3372, O ZionH6726; 33Do not let your handsH3027 fallH7503 limpH7503.17The LordH3068 your GodH430 is 34in your midstH7130, A 3536victoriousH3467 warriorH1368. He will 37exultH7797 overH5921 you with joyH8057, He will 38be quietH2790 in His loveH160, He will rejoiceH1523 overH5921 you with shoutsH7440 of joyH7440.18I will gatherH622 those who 39grieveH3013 aboutH4480 the appointedH4150 feastsH4150-- They 40cameH1961 from you, O Zion; The reproachH2781 of exile is a burdenH4864 on 41them.19BeholdH2009, I am going to dealH6213 at that timeH6256 With allH3605 your 42oppressorsH6031, I will saveH3467 the 43lameH6760 And gatherH6908 the outcastH5080, And I will turnH7760 their 44shameH1322 into 45praiseH8416 and renownH8034 In allH3605 the earthH776.20At that timeH6256 I will 46bringH935 you in, Even at the timeH6256 when I gatherH6908 you together; IndeedH3588, I will giveH5414 you 47renownH8034 and praiseH8416 Among allH3605 the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776, When I 48restoreH7725 your fortunesH7622 before your eyesH5869,” SaysH559 the LordH3068.
