Zephaniah 3:14-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion!
    Cry aloud, O Israel!
Rejoice and be jubilant with all your heart,
    O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵ Yahweh has annulled your judgments;
    he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, Yahweh, is in your midst;
    you shall no longer fear misfortune.
¹⁶ On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem,
    “Fear not, O Zion;
    your hands shall not hang limp.
¹⁷ Yahweh your God is in your midst;
    a mighty warrior who saves.
He shall rejoice over you with joy;
    he renews^[a] you in his love;
    he will exult over you with singing.
¹⁸ I will gather those of you grieving on account of the feast;
    they were raising against her a reproach.
¹⁹ Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors;
    I will save the lame and gather the outcast.
I will change^[b] them from shame
    to glory and renown^[c] throughout the whole world.
²⁰ At that time I will bring you in;
    at the time of my gathering you together.
For I will make you renowned^[d] and praised
    among all the nations of the earth
when I restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
    says Yahweh.
