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 frighten them.”

14Shout for joy, daughter of Zion! 7Shout in triumph, Israel! Rejoice and triumph with all your heart, 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 no longer 10fear disaster.16 11On that day it will be said to Jerusalem: “12Do not be afraid, Zion; 13Do not let your hands fall limp.17The Lord your God is 14in your midst, A 15 16victorious warrior. He will 17rejoice over you with joy, He will 18be quiet in His love, He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
