Zephaniah 3:10

Final Restoration Promised

⁹ For I will then restore
pure speech to the peoples
so that all of them may call
on the name of Yahweh
and serve Him with a single purpose.
¹⁰ From beyond the rivers of Cush
My supplicants, My dispersed people,
will bring an offering to Me.
¹¹ On that day you will not be put to shame
because of everything you have done
in rebelling against Me.
For then I will remove
your proud, arrogant people from among you,
and you will never again be haughty
on My holy mountain.
