Zephaniah 3:12-17

12But I will leave among you A 1humble and lowly people, And they will 2take refuge in the name of the Lord.13The 3remnant of Israel will 4do no wrong And 5tell no lies, Nor will a deceitful tongue Be found in their mouths; For they will 6feed and lie down With no one to make them tremble.”

14Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion! 7Shout in triumph, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!15The Lord has taken away 8His judgments against you, He has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the Lord, is 9in your midst; You will 10fear disaster no more.16 11In that day it will be said to Jerusalem: “12Do not be afraid, O Zion; 13Do not let your hands fall limp.17The Lord your God is 14in your midst, A 15 16victorious warrior. He will 17exult over you with joy, He will 18be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
