Zephaniah 3:17-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁷ The Lord your God is with you.
    He is like a powerful soldier.
    He will save you.
He will show how much he loves you
    and how happy he is with you.
He will laugh and be happy about you,
¹⁸     like people at a party.
I will take away your shame.
    I will make them stop hurting you.^[a]
