    he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;(A)
    never again will you fear(B) any harm.(C)
16 On that day
    they will say to Jerusalem,
“Do not fear, Zion;
    do not let your hands hang limp.(D)
17 The Lord your God is with you,

    all who mourn over the loss of your appointed festivals,

    with all who oppressed(I) you.
I will rescue the lame;
    I will gather the exiles.(J)
I will give them praise(K) and honor
    in every land where they have suffered shame.
20 At that time I will gather you;
    at that time I will bring(L) you home.
I will give you honor(M) and praise(N)
    among all the peoples of the earth
when I restore your fortunes[a](O)
    before your very eyes,”
says the Lord.

  1. Zephaniah 3:20 Or I bring back your captives

15 The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

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

19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.

“For a brief moment(A) I abandoned(B) you,
    but with deep compassion(C) I will bring you back.(D)
In a surge of anger(E)
    I hid(F) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness(G)
    I will have compassion(H) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.(I)

“To me this is like the days of Noah,
    when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth.(J)
So now I have sworn(K) not to be angry(L) with you,
    never to rebuke(M) you again.
10 Though the mountains be shaken(N)
    and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love(O) for you will not be shaken(P)
    nor my covenant(Q) of peace(R) be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion(S) on you.

11 “Afflicted(T) city, lashed by storms(U) and not comforted,(V)
    I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise,[a](W)
    your foundations(X) with lapis lazuli.(Y)
12 I will make your battlements of rubies,
    your gates(Z) of sparkling jewels,
    and all your walls of precious stones.
13 All your children will be taught by the Lord,(AA)
    and great will be their peace.(AB)
14 In righteousness(AC) you will be established:(AD)
Tyranny(AE) will be far from you;
    you will have nothing to fear.(AF)
Terror(AG) will be far removed;
    it will not come near you.
15 If anyone does attack you, it will not be my doing;
    whoever attacks you will surrender(AH) to you.

16 “See, it is I who created the blacksmith(AI)
    who fans the coals into flame
    and forges a weapon(AJ) fit for its work.
And it is I who have created the destroyer(AK) to wreak havoc;
17     no weapon forged against you will prevail,(AL)
    and you will refute(AM) every tongue that accuses you.
This is the heritage of the servants(AN) of the Lord,
    and this is their vindication(AO) from me,”
declares the Lord.

  1. Isaiah 54:11 The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain.

For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.

In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

For this is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; so have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.

10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.

13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.

14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.

16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.

17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.
