Zephaniah 3:14–20

¹⁴Sing for joy, Daughter Zion;

shout loudly, Israel!

Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,

Daughter Jerusalem!

¹⁵The Lord has removed your punishment;

He has turned back your enemy.

The King of Israel, Yahweh, 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. ^s

¹⁷Yahweh your God is among you,

a warrior ^twho saves.

He will rejoice over you ^uwith gladness.

He will bring you quietness ^vwith His love.

He will delight in you with shouts of joy.” ^w

¹⁸I will gather those who have been driven ^x

from the appointed festivals;

they will be a tribute from you ^y

and a reproach on her. ^z

¹⁹Yes, at that time

I will deal with all who afflict you.

I will save the lame ^aand gather the scattered; ^b

I will make those who were disgraced

throughout the earth

receive praise and fame.

²⁰At that time I will bring you ^cback,

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 ^dbefore your eyes.

Yahweh has spoken.
