Zephaniah 3:16-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁶ On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
“Do not fear, O Zion;
    do not let your hands grow weak.^(A)
17 The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
    a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
    he will renew you^[a] in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing^(B)
18     as on a day of festival.”^[b]
I will remove disaster from you,^[c]
    so that you will not bear reproach for it.
¹⁹ I will deal with all your oppressors
    at that time.
And I will save the lame
    and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
    and renown in all the earth.^(C)
20 At that time I will bring you home,
    at the time when I gather you;
for I will make you renowned and praised
    among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes
    before your eyes, says the Lord.^(D)
