Zephaniah 3:14-20
1599 Geneva Bible
14 Rejoice, O daughter Zion: be ye joyful, O Israel: be glad and rejoice with all thine heart, O daughter Jerusalem.
15 The Lord hath taken away thy [a]judgments: he hath cast out thine [b]enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord is in the midst of [c]thee: thou shalt see no more evil.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not, O Zion, let not thine hands be faint.
17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty: he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy: he will quiet himself in [d]his love: he will rejoice over thee with joy.
18 After a certain time will I gather the afflicted that were of thee, and them that bare the reproach for [e]it.
19 Behold, at that time I will bruise all that afflict thee, and I will [f]save her that halteth, and gather her that was cast out, and I will get them praise and fame in all the [g]lands of their shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, and then will I gather you: for I will give you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
