Context of Zephaniah 3:14
12I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of Yhwh. 13The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 15Yhwh hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even Yhwh, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more. 16In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
