Zephaniah 3:7-9
English Standard Version Anglicised
7 (A)I said, ‘Surely you will fear me;
(B)you will accept correction.
Then your[a] dwelling would not be cut off
according to all that I have appointed against you.’[b]
But (C)all the more they were eager
to make all their deeds corrupt.
8 “Therefore (D)wait for me,” declares the Lord,
“for the day when I rise up to seize the prey.
For my decision is (E)to gather nations,
to assemble kingdoms,
to pour out upon them my indignation,
all my burning anger;
for in the fire of my jealousy
(F)all the earth shall be consumed.
The Conversion of the Nations
9 “For at that time I will change the speech of the peoples
to (G)a pure speech,
that all of them may call upon the name of the Lord
and serve him with one accord.
