Zephaniah 3:8–13

8  Therefore xwait ye upon me, saith the Lord,

Until the day that I rise up to ythe prey:

For my determination is zto gather the nations,

zThat I may assemble the kingdoms,

To pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger:

For aall the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

9  For then will I turn to the people ba pure †language,

That they may all call upon the name of the Lord,

To serve him with one †consent.

10  bbFrom beyond the rivers of cEthiopia

My suppliants, even the daughter of dmy dispersed, eshall bring fmine offering.

11  gIn that day hshalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings,

Wherein thou hast transgressed against me:

For then I will take away out of the midst of thee them ithat rejoice in thy pride,

And kthou shalt no more be haughty †because of my holy mountain.

12  I will also leave in the midst of thee lan afflicted and poor people,

And lthey shall trust in the name of the Lord.

13  mThe remnant of Israel nshall not do iniquity, onor speak lies;

pNeither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth:

For qthey shall feed and rslie down, sand none shall make them afraid.
