Context of Zephaniah 3:11

9For then I will restore to the people pure speech, so that all of them may call upon the Name of Adonai and serve Him shoulder to shoulder. 10From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, My worshipers, the daughter of My scattered ones will bring My offering. On that day you will not be ashamed because of all your deeds by which you rebelled against Me. For then I will remove from your midst your proud, arrogant ones, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain. 12But I will leave among you a people meek and humble. They will take refuge in the Name of Adonai. 13The remnant of Israel will do no injustice nor will they tell lies, nor will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouths. For they will graze and lie down and no one will make them afraid.
