 Zephaniah 3:18 
New International Version (© 2011)
"I will remove from you all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals, which is a burden and reproach for you.

King James Bible
I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

American Standard Version
I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach.

Young's Literal Translation
Mine afflicted from the appointed place I have gathered, from thee they have been, Bearing for her sake reproach.

Zephaniah 3:18 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

I will gather - sorrowful - This may refer to those who, during the captivity, mourned for their former religious assemblies; and who were reproached by their enemies, because they could not enjoy their religious solemnities. See Psalm 137:1-9 : "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song," etc. This very circumstance may be the reference here.
