8 “Therefore, wait for me”—a declaration of Yahweh—

“for the day of my rising as a witness.

For my decision is to gather nations,

to assembleb kingdoms,

to pour out my wrath upon them, all my burning anger.

For by the fire of my anger all the land shall be consumed.

9 Because then I will ⌊make the speech of the nations pure⌋;c

that all of them might call on the name of Yahweh,

to serve him ⌊in unison⌋.d

10 From beyond the rivers of Cush

my worshipers and the daughter of my scattered ones

shall bring my offering.

11 On that day you shall not be humiliated

on account of all your deeds

by which you have rebelled against me.

For then I shall remove from your midst

those exulting in your pride,

and you shall no longer be haughty

in ⌊my holy mountain⌋.e

12 And I will leave in your midst

a people afflicted and poor,

and they shall take refuge

in the name of Yahweh.

13 The remnant of Israel

shall not do wickedness;

they shall not speak deception,

nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth.

For they shall graze and lie down,

and none shall frighten them.”
