Zephaniah 3:9-20 - Final Restoration Promised
9 For then I will turn to the peoples a purified lip, for all to call upon the name of Jehovah, to serve him with one shoulder. 10 From beyond to the rivers of Cush incense, the daughter of my dispersed shall bring my gifts. 11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doing which thou didst transgress against me: for then will I remove from the midst of thee those exulting in thy pride, and thou shalt no more add to be elevated in my holy mountain. 12 And I left in the midst of thee a humble and weak people, and they trusted in the name of Jehovah. 13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, and they shall not speak falsehood: and in their mouth shall not be found a tongue of deceit: for they shall feed and lie down, and none terrifying.
14 Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion; cry with a loud voice, O Israel; rejoice and exult with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 15 Jehovah removed thy judgments, be turned away thine enemy: the king of Israel, Jehovah in the midst of thee: thou shalt no more see evil. 16 In that day he will say to Jerusalem, Thou shalt not fear: O Zion, thy hands shall not be slack. 17 Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee: the strong one will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will be silent in his love, he will exult over thee with rejoicing.
18 I will assemble those grieved for the appointment, who were from thee, the lifting up upon it a reproach. 19 Behold me doing all for sake of thee in that time: and I saved her halting, and her being driven out I will gather; and I set them for a praise and for a name in every land of their shame. 20 In that time I will bring you, and in the time of my gathering you: for I will give you for a name and for a praise among all peoples of the earth, in my turning your captivity before your eyes, said Jehovah.
