16 On that day they will say to Jerusalem, |Don't be afraid, Zion! Your hands must not be paralyzed from panic! 17 The LORD your God is in your midst; he is a warrior who can deliver. He takes great delight in you; he renews you by his love; he shouts for joy over you.| 18 |As for those who grieve because they cannot attend the festivals--I took them away from you; they became tribute and were a source of shame to you. 19 Look, at that time I will deal with those who mistreated you. I will rescue the lame sheep and gather together the scattered sheep. I will take away their humiliation and make the whole earth admire and respect them. 20 At that time I will lead you--at the time I gather you together. Be sure of this! I will make all the nations of the earth respect and admire you when you see me restore you,| says the LORD. Zephaniah 3:16-20, New English Translation.
