3:9Know for sure that I will then enable
the nations to give me acceptable praise.32
All of them will invoke the Lord’s name when they pray,33
and will worship him in unison.34
Footnotes
- 32 Heb “Certainly [or perhaps, “For”] then I will restore to the nations a pure lip.” I will then enable the nations to give me acceptable praise. This apparently refers to a time when the nations will reject their false idol-gods and offer genuine praise to the one true God.
- 33 Heb “so that all of them will call on the name of the Lord.”
- 34 Heb “so that [they] will serve him [with] one shoulder.”
