Zephaniah 3:16-20 ▼

16 In that day it will be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear, O Zion; Do not let your hands fall limp.

17 Yahweh your God is in your midst, A mighty one who will save. He will be joyful over you with gladness; He will be quiet in His love; He will rejoice over you with joyful singing.

18 I will assemble those who grieve about the appointed feasts— They were from you, O Zion; The reproach of exile is a burden on them.

19 Behold, I am going to deal at that time With all those who afflict you, And I will save the lame And gather the banished, And I will turn them—in their shame—into praise and a name In all the earth.

20 At that time I will bring you in, Even at the time when I gather you together; Indeed, I will give you to be a name and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I restore your fortunes before your eyes,” Says Yahweh.
