Zephaniah 3:14–20

¹⁴Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;

shout loudly, Israel!

Be glad and celebrate with all your heart,

Daughter Jerusalem!

¹⁵The 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.

¹⁶On that day it will be said to Jerusalem:

“Do not fear;

Zion, do not let your hands grow weak.^aa

¹⁷The Lord your God is among you,

a warrior^ab who saves.

He will rejoice over you^ac with gladness.

He will be quiet^A in his love.

He will delight in you with singing.”^ad

¹⁸I will gather those who have been driven^a

from the appointed festivals;

they will be a tribute from you^B

and a reproach on her.^C

¹⁹Yes, at that time

I will deal with all who oppress you.

I will save the lame^b and gather the outcasts;^c

I will make those who were disgraced

throughout the earth

receive praise and fame.

²⁰At that time I will bring you^D 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 fortunes^d before your eyes.

The Lord has spoken.
