Zephaniah 3:14-20 - A Song Of Joy

¹⁴ Sing, O daughter of Zion. Shout, O Israel. Be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. ¹⁵ LORD has taken away thy judgments. He has cast out thine enemy. The King of Israel, even LORD, is in the midst of thee. Thou shall not fear evil any more. ¹⁶ In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not, O Zion. Let not thy hands be slack. ¹⁷ LORD thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over thee with joy. He will rest in his love. He will joy over thee with singing.

¹⁸ I will gather those who sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee, [to whom] the burden upon her was a reproach. ¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict thee. And I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away, and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame has been in all the earth. ²⁰ At that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you. For I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, says LORD.
