That all of them may bcall on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him 2shoulder to shoulder.

And you will never again be haughty
On My choly mountain.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples
to a pure speech,
that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord
and serve him with one accord.
From beyond the rivers of Cush
my worshipers, the daughter of my dispersed ones,
shall bring my offering.
“On that day you shall not be put to shame
because of the deeds by which you have rebelled against me;
for then I will remove from your midst
your proudly exultant ones,
and you shall no longer be haughty
in my holy mountain.
But I will leave in your midst
a people humble and lowly.
They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord,
those who are left in Israel;
they shall do no injustice
and speak no lies,
nor shall there be found in their mouth
a deceitful tongue.
For they shall graze and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid.”

“Then I will purify the lips of the peoples,
that all of them may call on the name of the Lord
and serve him shoulder to shoulder.
From beyond the rivers of Cush
my worshipers, my scattered people,
will bring me offerings.
On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame
for all the wrongs you have done to me,
because I will remove from you
your arrogant boasters.
Never again will you be haughty
on my holy hill.
But I will leave within you
the meek and humble.
The remnant of Israel
will trust in the name of the Lord.
They will do no wrong;
they will tell no lies.
A deceitful tongue
will not be found in their mouths.
They will eat and lie down
and no one will make them afraid.”

“Then I will purify the speech of all people,
so that everyone can worship the Lord together.
My scattered people who live beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
will come to present their offerings.
On that day you will no longer need to be ashamed,
for you will no longer be rebels against me.
I will remove all proud and arrogant people from among you.
There will be no more haughtiness on my holy mountain.
Those who are left will be the lowly and humble,
for it is they who trust in the name of the Lord.
The remnant of Israel will do no wrong;
they will never tell lies or deceive one another.
They will eat and sleep in safety,
and no one will make them afraid.”

Because then I will make the speech of the nations pure;
that all of them might call on the name of Yahweh,
to serve him in unison.
From beyond the rivers of Cush
my worshipers and the daughter of my scattered ones
shall bring my offering.
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.
And I will leave in your midst
a people afflicted and poor,
and they shall take refuge
in the name of Yahweh.
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.”

KJV 1900King James Version
For then will I turn to the people a pure language,
That they may all call upon the name of the Lord,
To serve him with one consent.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
In that day shalt 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 that rejoice in thy pride,
And thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies;
Neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth:
For they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
