Zephaniah 3:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The Lord has stopped punishing you.
    He has made your enemies turn away from you.
The Lord is the King of Israel.
    He is with you.
You will never again be afraid
    that others will harm you.
¹⁶ The time is coming when people will say to Jerusalem,
    “Zion, don’t be afraid.
    Don’t give up.
¹⁷ The Lord your God is with you.
    He is the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you.
    In his love he will no longer punish you.
    Instead, he will sing for joy because of you.”
