Zephaniah 3:14-20

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ Sing for joy, O daughter of Zion!
^(A)Make a loud shout, O Israel!
Be glad and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵ Yahweh has taken away ^(B)His judgments against you;
He has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, Yahweh, is ^(C)in your midst;
You will ^(D)fear evil no more.
^16 (E)In that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
“^(F)Do not fear, O Zion;
^(G)Do not let your hands fall limp.
¹⁷ Yahweh your God is ^(H)in your midst,
A ^(I)mighty one who will save.
He will ^(J)be joyful over you with gladness;
He will ^[a]be quiet in His love;
He will rejoice over you with joyful singing.
¹⁸ I will assemble those who ^(K)grieve about the appointed feasts—
They were from you, O Zion;
The reproach of exile is a burden on ^[b]them.
¹⁹ Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all those who ^(L)afflict you,
And I will save the ^(M)lame
And gather the banished,
And I will turn them—in their ^(N)shame—into ^(O)praise and a name
In all the earth.
²⁰ At that time I will ^(P)bring you in,
Even at the time when I gather you together;
Indeed, I will give you to be a ^(Q)name and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I ^(R)restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
Says Yahweh.
