Zephaniah 3:14-20

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Shout for joy, O daughter of Zion!
^(A)Shout in triumph, O Israel!
Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter of Jerusalem!
¹⁵ The Lord has taken away ^(B)His judgments against you,
He has cleared away your enemies.
The King of Israel, the Lord, is ^(C)in your midst;
You will ^(D)fear disaster no more.
^16 (E)In that day it will be said to Jerusalem:
“^(F)Do not be afraid, O Zion;
^(G)Do not let your hands fall limp.
¹⁷ “The Lord your God is ^(H)in your midst,
A ^[a](I)victorious warrior.
He will ^(J)exult over you with joy,
He will ^[b]be quiet in His love,
He will rejoice over you with shouts of joy.
¹⁸ “I will gather those who ^(K)grieve about the appointed feasts—
They ^[c]came from you, O Zion;
The reproach of exile is a burden on ^[d]them.
¹⁹ “Behold, I am going to deal at that time
With all your ^(L)oppressors,
I will save the ^(M)lame
And gather the outcast,
And I will turn their ^(N)shame into ^(O)praise and renown
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 ^(Q)renown and praise
Among all the peoples of the earth,
When I ^(R)restore your fortunes before your eyes,”
Says the Lord.
