Zephaniah 3:12

Final Restoration Promised

¹¹
“On that day you [Israel] will feel no shame
Because of all your acts
By which you have rebelled and sinned against Me;
Then I will remove from among you
Your rejoicing ones who delight in their pride;
And you will never again behave arrogantly
On My holy mountain [Mount Zion]. ¹² 
“But I will leave among you
A humble and lowly people,
And they will take refuge and trust confidently in the name of the Lord.
¹³
“The remnant of Israel will do no wrong
Nor speak lies,
Nor will a deceitful tongue
Be found in their mouths;
For they will eat and lie down
With no one to make them tremble and feel afraid.”
