Zephaniah 3:14–20

¹⁴Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion!

Cry aloud, O Israel!

Rejoice and be jubilant with all your heart,

O daughter of Jerusalem!

¹⁵Yahweh has annulled your judgments;

he has turned away your enemies.

The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst;

you shall no longer fear misfortune.

¹⁶On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem,

“Fear not, O Zion;

your hands shall not hang limp.

¹⁷Yahweh your God is in your midst;

a mighty warrior who saves.

He shall rejoice over you with joy;

he renews^f you in his love;

he will exult over you with singing.

¹⁸I will gather those of you grieving on account of the feast;

they were raising against her a reproach.

¹⁹Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors;

I will save the lame and gather the outcast.

I will change^g them from shame

to glory and renown^h throughout the whole world.

²⁰At that time I will bring you in;

at the time of my gathering you together.

For I will make you renownedⁱ and praised

among all the nations of the earth

when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,”

says Yahweh.
