Zephaniah 3:14–20

14 Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;

shout loudly, Israel!

Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,

Daughter Jerusalem!

15 The Lord has removed your punishment;

he has turned back your enemy.

The King of Israel, the Lord, is among you;

you need no longer fear harm.

16 On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:

“Do not fear;

Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.aa

17 The Lord your God is among you,

a warriorab who saves.

He will rejoice over youac with gladness.

He will be quietA in his love.

He will delight in you with singing.”ad

18 I will gather those who have been drivena

from the appointed festivals;

they will be a tribute from youB

and a reproach on her.C

19 Yes, at that time

I will deal with all who oppress you.

I will save the lameb and gather the outcasts;c

I will make those who were disgraced

throughout the earth

receive praise and fame.

20 At that time I will bring youD back,

yes, at the time I will gather you.

I will give you fame and praise

among all the peoples of the earth,

when I restore your fortunesd before your eyes.

The Lord has spoken.
